All 5 numerators are 0.03
So, we'll use the property that says "the bigger the denominator, the smaller the value of the fraction"
For example, 17/31 is less than 17/30
And 321/555 is less than 321/534
And 12/6 is less than 12/4
Now let's check the denominators among the answer choices....
The biggest denominator is 7.1, so the correct answer is E
