5. 1/2, 9/7, 5/4

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the problem (B: Arrange fractions from least to greatest)

We need to arrange the fractions \(\frac{6}{18}\), \(\frac{2}{12}\), \(\frac{16}{18}\), \(\frac{3}{5}\), \(\frac{8}{15}\), \(\frac{1}{9}\), \(\frac{5}{6}\), \(\frac{4}{12}\), \(\frac{3}{8}\) (assuming these are the fractions from the image) from least to greatest. First, simplify or find a common denominator. Let's use the least common denominator (LCD) method. The denominators are 18, 12, 15, 9, 5, 6. The LCD of 18, 12, 15, 9, 5, 6 is 180.

Step2: Convert each fraction to denominator 180

- \(\frac{6}{18}=\frac{6\times10}{18\times10}=\frac{60}{180}\)
- \(\frac{2}{12}=\frac{2\times15}{12\times15}=\frac{30}{180}\)
- \(\frac{16}{18}=\frac{16\times10}{18\times10}=\frac{160}{180}\)
- \(\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times36}{5\times36}=\frac{108}{180}\)
- \(\frac{8}{15}=\frac{8\times12}{15\times12}=\frac{96}{180}\)
- \(\frac{1}{9}=\frac{1\times20}{9\times20}=\frac{20}{180}\)
- \(\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5\times30}{6\times30}=\frac{150}{180}\)
- \(\frac{4}{12}=\frac{4\times15}{12\times15}=\frac{60}{180}\) (Wait, maybe a typo, let's check again. If it's \(\frac{3}{8}\), \(\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3\times22.5}{8\times22.5}\) no, better to use LCD for 8 as well. Wait, maybe the fractions are \(\frac{6}{18}\), \(\frac{2}{12}\), \(\frac{16}{18}\), \(\frac{3}{5}\), \(\frac{8}{15}\), \(\frac{1}{9}\), \(\frac{5}{6}\), \(\frac{4}{12}\), \(\frac{3}{8}\). Let's correct:

For \(\frac{1}{9}\): \(\frac{1\times20}{9\times20}=\frac{20}{180}\)

\(\frac{2}{12}=\frac{30}{180}\)

\(\frac{6}{18}=\frac{60}{180}\)

\(\frac{8}{15}=\frac{96}{180}\)

\(\frac{3}{5}=\frac{108}{180}\)

\(\frac{5}{6}=\frac{150}{180}\)

\(\frac{16}{18}=\frac{160}{180}\)

\(\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3\times22.5}{8\times22.5}\) no, better to find LCD of all denominators: 18,12,18,5,15,9,6,12,8. Prime factors: 18=2×3², 12=2²×3, 5=5, 15=3×5, 9=3², 6=2×3, 8=2³. So LCD is 2³×3²×5=8×9×5=360.

Let's use 360:

- \(\frac{6}{18}=\frac{6\times20}{18\times20}=\frac{120}{360}\)
- \(\frac{2}{12}=\frac{2\times30}{12\times30}=\frac{60}{360}\)
- \(\frac{16}{18}=\frac{16\times20}{18\times20}=\frac{320}{360}\)
- \(\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times72}{5\times72}=\frac{216}{360}\)
- \(\frac{8}{15}=\frac{8\times24}{15\times24}=\frac{192}{360}\)
- \(\frac{1}{9}=\frac{1\times40}{9\times40}=\frac{40}{360}\)
- \(\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5\times60}{6\times60}=\frac{300}{360}\)
- \(\frac{4}{12}=\frac{4\times30}{12\times30}=\frac{120}{360}\) (again, maybe a typo, if it's \(\frac{3}{8}\): \(\frac{3\times45}{8\times45}=\frac{135}{360}\))

Wait, maybe the original problem has fractions: \(\frac{1}{9}\), \(\frac{2}{12}\), \(\frac{6}{18}\), \(\frac{8}{15}\), \(\frac{3}{5}\), \(\frac{5}{6}\), \(\frac{16}{18}\), \(\frac{3}{8}\) (assuming the numbers are 1. \(\frac{6}{18}\), 2. \(\frac{2}{12}\), 3. \(\frac{16}{18}\), 4. \(\frac{3}{5}\), 5. \(\frac{8}{15}\), 6. \(\frac{1}{9}\), 7. \(\frac{5}{6}\), 8. \(\frac{4}{12}\), 9. \(\frac{3}{8}\)). Let's list their decimal equivalents for easier comparison:

- \(\frac{1}{9}\approx0.111\)
- \(\frac{2}{12}\approx0.1667\)
- \(\frac{6}{18}\approx0.333\)
- \(\frac{8}{15}\approx0.533\)
- \(\frac{3}{5}=0.6\)
- \(\frac{5}{6}\approx0.833\)
- \(\frac{16}{18}\approx0.888\)
- \(\frac{3}{8}=0.375\) (Wait, \(\frac{3}{8}\) is 0.375, which is between \(\frac{6}{18}\) (0.333) and \(\frac{8}{15}\) (0.533))

So ordering from least to greatest:

\(\frac{1}{9}\) (≈0.111), \(\frac{2}{12}\) (≈0.1667), \(\frac{6}{18}\) (≈0.333), \(\frac{3}{8}\) (0.375), \(\frac{8}{15}\) (≈0.533), \(\frac{3}{5}\) (0.6), \(\frac{5}{6}\) (≈0.833), \(\frac{16}{18}\) (≈0.888), \(\frac{4}{12}\) (which is \(\frac{1}{3}\approx0.333\), same as \(\frac{6}{18}\))

Wait, maybe the problem is part B: arrange the fractions from least to greatest. Let's take the fractions as given: 1. \(\frac{6}{18}\), 2. \(\frac{2}{12}\), 3. \(\frac{16}{18}\), 4. \(\frac{3}{5}\), 5. \(\frac{8}{15}\), 6. \(\frac{1}{9}\), 7. \(\frac{5}{6}\), 8. \(\frac{4}{12}\), 9. \(\frac{3}{8}\) (maybe).

Converting to decimals:

- \(\frac{1}{9}\approx0.111\)
- \(\frac{2}{12}\approx0.167\)
- \(\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\approx0.333\)
- \(\frac{6}{18}=\frac{1}{3}\approx0.333\)
- \(\frac{3}{8}=0.375\)
- \(\frac{8}{15}\approx0.533\)
- \(\frac{3}{5}=0.6\)
- \(\frac{5}{6}\approx0.833\)
- \(\frac{16}{18}\approx0.889\)

So the order from least to greatest is:

\(\frac{1}{9}\), \(\frac{2}{12}\), \(\frac{4}{12}\) (or \(\frac{6}{18}\)), \(\frac{3}{8}\), \(\frac{8}{15}\), \(\frac{3}{5}\), \(\frac{5}{6}\), \(\frac{16}{18}\)

For part C: arrange the quotients from least to greatest. Let's take the divisions:

1. \(3\div\frac{3}{2}\) (Wait, the first one: 1. \(3\div\frac{3}{2}\)? Wait the image shows:

C. arrange the quotients from least to greatest:

1. \(3\div\frac{3}{2}\) (Wait, the first one: 1. \(3\div\frac{3}{2}\)? Wait the writing is: 1. \(3\div\frac{3}{2}\)? No, the first one under C: 1. \( \frac{3}{2} \div \frac{3}{6} \)? Wait, maybe the divisions are:

1. \( \frac{3}{2} \div \frac{3}{6} \) (Wait, the first one: \( \frac{3}{2} \div \frac{3}{6} = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{6}{3} = 3 \))

2. \( \frac{4}{5} \div \frac{2}{15} \) ( \( \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{15}{2} = 6 \))

3. \( \frac{1}{3} \div \) (maybe a typo)

Wait, maybe the divisions are:

1. \( 3 \div \frac{3}{2} = 3 \times \frac{2}{3} = 2 \)

2. \( \frac{4}{5} \div \frac{2}{15} = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{15}{2} = 6 \)

3. \( \frac{1}{3} \div \) (maybe \( \frac{1}{3} \div \frac{1}{9} = 3 \))

4. \( 9 \div \frac{9}{6} = 9 \times \frac{6}{9} = 6 \)

5. \( 7 \div \frac{5}{4} \)? No, the image is a bit unclear. Maybe it's better to focus on part B first.

Assuming part B: fractions are \(\frac{6}{18}\), \(\frac{2}{12}\), \(\frac{16}{18}\), \(\frac{3}{5}\), \(\frac{8}{15}\), \(\frac{1}{9}\), \(\frac{5}{6}\), \(\frac{4}{12}\), \(\frac{3}{8}\) (as per the numbers 1 - 9).

Ordering them by decimal value:

1. \(\frac{1}{9}\) (≈0.111)
2. \(\frac{2}{12}\) (≈0.167)
3. \(\frac{4}{12}\) (≈0.333)
4. \(\frac{6}{18}\) (≈0.333)
5. \(\frac{3}{8}\) (0.375)
6. \(\frac{8}{15}\) (≈0.533)
7. \(\frac{3}{5}\) (0.6)
8. \(\frac{5}{6}\) (≈0.833)
9. \(\frac{16}{18}\) (≈0.889)

So the order from least to greatest is \(\frac{1}{9}\), \(\frac{2}{12}\), \(\frac{4}{12}\) (or \(\frac{6}{18}\)), \(\frac{3}{8}\), \(\frac{8}{15}\), \(\frac{3}{5}\), \(\frac{5}{6}\), \(\frac{16}{18}\).

Answer:

For part B (arrange fractions from least to greatest): \(\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{9}}\), \(\boldsymbol{\frac{2}{12}}\), \(\boldsymbol{\frac{4}{12}}\) (or \(\boldsymbol{\frac{6}{18}}\)), \(\boldsymbol{\frac{3}{8}}\), \(\boldsymbol{\frac{8}{15}}\), \(\boldsymbol{\frac{3}{5}}\), \(\boldsymbol{\frac{5}{6}}\), \(\boldsymbol{\frac{16}{18}}\) (adjusted based on clear fraction values from the problem).

(Note: Due to image clarity, the exact fractions may vary, but the method of converting to decimals or common denominators is used for ordering.)
