First, let's turn the fractions into decimal form so you can see the answer, more clearly. 
2 [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] = 2.25
2.4 = 2.4
2 [tex] \frac{1}{8} [/tex] = 2.125

Now, after looking at the decimals, we can see which decimals are the biggest. They would order, from least to greatest, like this. 
1)  2.4
2) 2.25
3) 2.125

I hope this helps!

Answer:

[tex]\text{Growth in Kate}<\text{Growth in Mari}<\text{Growth in Kim}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Growth in Mari =

[tex]2\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}\text{ inches} = \frac{2\times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} = 2.25\text{ inches}[/tex]

Growth in Kim =

2.4 inches

Growth in Kate =

[tex]2\displaystyle\frac{1}{8}\text{ inches}= \frac{2\times 8 + 1}{8} = \frac{17}{8} = 2.125\text{ inches}[/tex]

Growth in order from least to greatest:

[tex]2.125<2.25<2.4\\\text{Growth in Kate}<\text{Growth in Mari}<\text{Growth in Kim}[/tex]
