3/4
3/8
1/2
1/4

you are going to multiply both numerator and denominator of each fraction by a number that lets you see least to greatest you can do this by finding a number all the denominators can multiply into for these fractions the easiest is 8

3/4×2/2=6/8
3/8×1/1= 3/8
1/2×4/4= 4/8
1/4×2/2= 2/8

now that the denominators are equal you can put them in order from least to greatest

2/8
3/8
4/8
6/8

now I doubt they want the fractions to stay this way so now simplify them back into their original fractions

1/4
3/8
1/2
3/4

this is the order of least to greatest

do these steps again for the other numbers

2/3
1/6
5/18
7/9

denominator to 18

2/3×6/6=12/18
1/6×3/3= 3/18
5/18×1/1= 5/18
7/9×2/2= 14/18

order from least to greatest

3/18
5/18
12/18
14/18

simplify to original

1/6
5/18
2/3
7/9

this is the order from least to greatest
