There are precise ways and rough-estimate ways to answer this.

Precise obviously with a calculator (3/8, 3/5, 1/7), or by multiplying the denominators (bottom numbers) by a value to get them all the same. Then multiply the numerators (top number) by the same value used for the denominators. Then its easy to see.

The rough-estimate is to look at each value, and see how they relate to say half or 1 over 2.

3/8 is just under half (which is 4/8)

3/5 is just over half (2.5/5 - yes, not fractionally correct)

1/7 is a long way under half (3.5/7 - see above)

So based on estimates from small to large, 1/7; 3/8; 3/5.
