To compare the given fractions and mixed numbers, let's first convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions (if applicable) and then evaluate their decimal values:

  1. Responses:

    • Start Fraction 13 over 15 End Fraction = \( \frac{13}{15} \) ≈ 0.8667
    • Start Fraction 15 over 8 End Fraction = \( \frac{15}{8} = 1.875 \)
    • Start Fraction 9 over 6 End Fraction = \( \frac{9}{6} = 1.5 \)
    • Start Fraction 7 over 9 End Fraction = \( \frac{7}{9} \) ≈ 0.7778
  2. Order from smallest to largest:

    • \( \frac{7}{9} \) ≈ 0.7778 (smallest)
    • \( \frac{13}{15} \) ≈ 0.8667
    • \( \frac{9}{6} = 1.5 \)
    • \( \frac{15}{8} = 1.875 \) (largest)

So, the order for the first set of responses is:

  • Start Fraction 7 over 9 End Fraction
  • Start Fraction 13 over 15 End Fraction
  • Start Fraction 9 over 6 End Fraction
  • Start Fraction 15 over 8 End Fraction

Now, let's check the other options and evaluate their order as well.

  1. Responses (Option 2):

    • 2 Start Fraction 3 over 5 End Fraction = \( 2 + \frac{3}{5} \) = \( \frac{10}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{13}{5} \) = 2.6
    • 1 Start Fraction 7 over 8 End Fraction = \( 1 + \frac{7}{8} \) = \( \frac{8}{8} + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{15}{8} \) = 1.875
    • 1 Start Fraction 3 over 6 End Fraction = \( 1 + \frac{1}{2} = 1.5 \)
    • Start Fraction 7 over 9 End Fraction = \( \frac{7}{9} \) ≈ 0.7778
  2. Order for Option 2:

    • \( \frac{7}{9} \) ≈ 0.7778
    • \( 1 + \frac{3}{6} = 1.5 \)
    • \( 1 + \frac{7}{8} = 1.875 \)
    • \( 2 + \frac{3}{5} = 2.6 \)

Next for Option 3 and 4:

  1. Responses (Option 3):
    • 79 = 79
    • Start Fraction 10 over 6 End Fraction = \( \frac{10}{6} = 1.6667 \)
    • 16 over 18 = \( \frac{16}{18} \) = \( \frac{8}{9} \) ≈ 0.8889
    • Start Fraction 13 over 5 End Fraction = \( \frac{13}{5} = 2.6 \)

Order for Option 3:

  1. 79

  2. \( \frac{8}{9} \) ≈ 0.8889

  3. \( \frac{10}{6} \) = 1.6667

  4. \( \frac{13}{5} \) = 2.6

  5. Responses (Option 4):

  • 79
  • 136
  • 178
  • 235

Final Numeric Order: After evaluating all options, the order from smallest to largest (using the values given) is:

  1. Response with fractions:
    • 79
    • Start Fraction 7 over 9 End Fraction
    • Start Fraction 13 over 15 End Fraction
    • Start Fraction 9 over 6 End Fraction
    • Start Fraction 15 over 8 End Fraction
  2. 79, 136, 178, 235 directly listed is also correct.

The smallest to largest of the given choices:

  • 79, 136, 178, 235
