Ans e wmc
w = 15/32 ~0.4
m = 9/24 = 0.36
c = 1 - (w + m) ~ 0.24
so w m c in descending order another  everything I do after 1 AM I seem to miss
ascending: c m w..

Answer a - c, m, w
m ~ 1/3
w ~ 1/2
and m+w+c = 1 hence c ~ 1/6
Hence increasing order would be c -> m -> w

a.c, m, w
b.c, w, m
c.m,w,c
d.w,c,m
e.w,m,c
w is approx = half
m is approx = 0.4
thus sure
a is the answer increasing order ( c<m<w)

Yes, decimals work faster than common denominators here. E would be correct if the question asked for DESCENDING order.
