Question 117801
First multiply {{{5/8}}} by {{{2/2}}} to get {{{10/16}}}.



Now multiply {{{3/4}}} by {{{4/4}}} to get {{{12/16}}}.




Now multiply {{{7/8}}} by {{{2/2}}} to get {{{14/16}}}.



So the fractions {{{5/8}}}, {{{3/4}}}, {{{9/16}}} and {{{7/8}}} become:



{{{10/16}}}, {{{12/16}}}, {{{9/16}}}, and {{{14/16}}}



Since the denominators are the same, we can now compare the numerators. Since {{{9/16}}} has the smallest numerator, the fraction {{{9/16}}} is the smallest of the group.



So the answer is A)
