Answer:
(2)/(7),
(1)/(2),
(5)/(6),
(4)/(2)

Explanation:

1. You can divide the numerator of each one them by the denominator, then, you can rewrite them as you can see below:


(1)/(2)=0.5


(5)/(6)=0.83


(2)/(7)=0.28


(4)/(2)=2

2. Then, you can order the given numbers from least to greatest (which is also known as increasing order), as following:


(2)/(7),
(1)/(2),
(5)/(6),
(4)/(2)
