Solution

$\frac{3}{28}$ of the people are college graduates.

$\frac{6}{28}$ of the people are high school graduates.

$\frac{16}{28}$ of the people have completed their primary education.

Therefore,
$\frac{3}{28} < \frac{6}{28} < \frac{16}{28}$

Largest group = Completed primary education
Smallest group = College graduates
