Order the ratios from least to greatest
5:16, 3/8 , 2 to 6, 4/15, 12:40
--------------
Convert each ratio/fraction to a common denominator:
The Common denominator is 2^4*3*5 = 240
75/240 , 90/240, 80/240, 64/240, 72/240
------------------
Now, order them according to the numerator value:
4/15, 12:40, 5:16, 2 to 6, 3/8
