An easy way to figure this out is to make them all have common denominators.
2/4=6/12, 2/3=8/12, 2/6=4/12. Now, we can see that the order is 4/12, 6/12, and 8/12, meaning the answer is 2/6, 2/4, and 2/3.

From least to greatest:


(2)/(6) \ \textless \ (2)/(4) \ \textless \ (2)/(3)

The reason is that if you convert to decimals, it results to:

.3333 (
(2)/(6)) < .5
(
(2)/(4))
< .6666
(
(2)/(3))
