A really easy way to do this would be converting them all to decimals by dividing the top number by the bottom number.

7/5 = 1.4

15/4 = 3.75

3/2 = 1.5

11/4 = 2.75

13/3 = 4.33

Start with the whole numbers. 3/2 and 7/5 must go first since they both have a 1. 7/5 goes before 3/2 since it has a 4 in the tenths place, while 3/2 has a 5.

Next would be 11/4 since it has a 2, then 15/4 with a 3, and lastly 13/3 with a 4 as a whole number

Answer is 7/5, 3/2, 11/4, 15/4, 13/3
