Charlotte is drilling three holes of different sizes in a bird house that she is making. The diameters of the holes are 1(1/2) inches, 1(3/4) inches, and 1(3/8) inches. Which of the following gives the diameters, in inches, in order from least to greatest?

Rationale

1(3/8), 1(1/2), 1(3/4)

The correct order of the hole diameters from least to greatest is 1(3/8) inches, 1(1/2) inches, and 1(3/4) inches, as the sizes progress incrementally from smallest to largest.

A (1(1/2), 1(3/4), 1(3/8)) YOUR ANSWER

This sequence incorrectly lists the hole diameters in increasing order, starting from 1(1/2) inches and ending with 1(3/8) inches, which is the reverse of the correct order.

B (1(1/2), 1(3/8), 1(3/4)) YOUR ANSWER

In this arrangement, the order of the hole diameters is 1(1/2) inches, 1(3/8) inches, and 1(3/4) inches. This sequence is not correct as it places the middle-sized hole before the smallest one.

C (1(3/8), 1(3/4), 1(1/2)) YOUR ANSWER

The listed order in this option is 1(3/8) inches, 1(3/4) inches, and 1(1/2) inches, which is the reverse of the correct order provided in the question.

D (1(3/8), 1(1/2), 1(3/4)) CORRECT

This sequence correctly identifies the hole diameters in ascending order, with 1(3/8) inches being the smallest, followed by 1(1/2) inches, and finally 1(3/4) inches, matching the given scenario.

Conclusion

The correct answer is option D, where the hole sizes are correctly arranged from smallest to largest as 1(3/8), 1(1/2), and 1(3/4) inches. This order reflects a logical progression of increasing hole diameters in Charlotte's birdhouse construction project.
