To determine the correct order of the trails from shortest to longest, we first need to convert the fractions provided into a comparable format.

  1. Trail A: 5 910 miles
  2. Trail B: 5 17 miles
  3. Trail C: 5 59 miles

Let's interpret each trail based on typical formats:

  • Trail A: 5.910 miles
  • Trail B: 5.17 miles
  • Trail C: 5.59 miles

Next, we can compare these distances.

  • 5.17 = 5.170 (to have the same number of decimal places for easier comparison)
  • 5.59 = 5.590

Now we can compare the values:

  • Trail B: 5.170 miles
  • Trail C: 5.590 miles
  • Trail A: 5.910 miles

Now we can see the order from shortest to longest:

  1. Trail B: 5.170 miles
  2. Trail C: 5.590 miles
  3. Trail A: 5.910 miles

Thus, the correct order is:

B, C, A

So, the answer is B: B, C, A.
