Hi There

The first thing you must do is divide the numerator by their denominator

-1/6 = -0.16

5/3= 1.16

-5/6= -0.83

Now we can see which one is the greatest and least

-0.83 < -0.16 < 1.16 ( That's the answer)

Now you might asking yourself why -0.83 is lest than -0.16 ?

Well the reason is because when the negative number is farter zero.. it is lest than the one that near to the zero. So that's why


I hope that's help and if you have questions please let me know :)
