In order to compare the fractions, we need to put them in the same denominator.

Calculating the least common multiple between the denominators, we have 12, so we have:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)=(4)/(12) \\ \\ (1)/(2)=(6)/(12) \\ \\ (3)/(4)=(9)/(12) \end{gathered}

Now, comparing the fractions, we have:


\begin{gathered} (4)/(12)<(6)/(12)<(9)/(12) \\ \\ (1)/(3)<(1)/(2)<(3)/(4) \end{gathered}

So the correct order is:

1/3, 1/2, 3/4
