1/5, 3/5, 4/5

400

Order in ascending order: 1/3, 1/2, 2/3

Firstly, make the same denominator

1/3 👉 2/6

1/2 👉3/6

2/3 👉 4/6

Then order them...

👉 1/3, 1/2, 2/3

500

Order these fractions in DESCENDING order

2/3, 3/4, 1/2

Make denominators the same (12 works well):

2/3 = 8/12
3/4 = 9/12
1/2 = 6/12

Now compare:

9/12 > 8/12 > 6/12
