In building construction, tubes of different sizes are used for water network installation. These measurements are known by their diameter, often measured in inches. Some of these tubes, with measurements in inches, are tubes of $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{8}$ and $\frac{5}{4}$. Placing the values of these measurements in increasing order, we find
(A) $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{8}, \frac{5}{4}$
(B) $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{5}{4}, \frac{3}{8}$
(C) $\frac{3}{8}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{5}{4}$
(D) $\frac{3}{8}, \frac{5}{4}, \frac{1}{2}$
(E) $\frac{5}{4}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{8}$
