Order the fractions 6/5 3/4 1/2 from least to greatest.
This simply means to put these fractions in order from the smallest fraction to the largest fraction.

Write 2/3 1/6 1/3 in order from least to greatest.
The fractions 2/3 and 1/3 has the same denominators so we could compare there Numerators.
2 > 1, so 1/3 is smaller than 2/3
compare 1/3 and 1/6. There numerators are the same so 1/3 > 1/6
Answer: 1/6 < 1/3 < 2/3
> greater than
