Answer:

If the denominators are equal for all of the fractions, you can simply look at the numerator and order them. If the denominators aren't equal, you'll have to find the lcm (lowest common multiple), for example, if we have the fractions 3/6 and 1/4, we would find the lcm of 6 and 4, which is 12 and multiply the numerators accordingly. So the fractions would then become 6/12 and 3/12, this makes it easier for you to figure out their order from least to greatest.

Goodluck for your finals :)
