Solution

Solution Steps

To order the fractions from greatest to least, we can compare their numerators since they all have the same denominator. The fraction with the largest numerator is the greatest, and the one with the smallest numerator is the least.

Step 1: List the Fractions

We start with the given fractions: \[ \frac{3}{8}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{6}{8}, \frac{5}{8} \]

Step 2: Compare the Numerators

Since all fractions have the same denominator (8), we can compare the numerators directly: \[ 3, 7, 6, 5 \]

Step 3: Order the Numerators from Greatest to Least

We order the numerators in descending order: \[ 7, 6, 5, 3 \]

Step 4: Write the Fractions in Order

Using the ordered numerators, we write the fractions from greatest to least: \[ \frac{7}{8}, \frac{6}{8}, \frac{5}{8}, \frac{3}{8} \]

Final Answer

$\boxed{\frac{7}{8}, \frac{6}{8}, \frac{5}{8}, \frac{3}{8}}$
