(1)/(4) because
(2)/(5) , (3)/(10), (1)/(4) can all be made into the LCM of 20 and turns the fractions into
(8)/(20), (6)/(20), (5)/(20) respectively. This makes
(1)/(4) the smallest of that group. That just leaves
(1)/(3), (1)/(4). By using the exact same process, you use 3 and 4's LCM of 12 and get
(4)/(12), (3)/(12). That makes
(1)/(4) the smallest of the group.
