Answer: {1/8, 1/4, 3/8}</h3>
================================
Explanation:
1/4 = 2/8 after multiplying top and bottom by 2
The original set {1/8, 3/8, 1/4} updates to {1/8, 3/8, 2/8}
To sort the fractions, we sort the numerators. The numerators are {1,3,2} which sorts to {1,2,3}. Therefore, {1/8, 3/8, 2/8} sorts to {1/8, 2/8, 3/8}
The last step is to reduce 2/8 back to 1/4.
So {1/8, 2/8, 3/8} becomes {1/8, 1/4, 3/8}

Alternative Method:
Use your calculator, or use long division, to find the decimal form of each fraction
1/8 = 0.125
3/8 = 0.375
1/4 = 0.25 (note: it might help to think of 0.25 as 0.250)
Then sort the decimal values from least to greatest to get {0.125, 0.25, 0.375}
Lastly, replace each decimal value with its fractional equivalent
{0.125, 0.25, 0.375} ---> {1/8, 1/4, 3/8}
