In case you want the working out -
You will want to put all these fractions over the same denominator, the lowest common multiple is 180
-2/9
180/9 = 20
20 x -2 = -40/180

A
-7/12
180/12 = 15
15 x -7 = -105/180

B -1/15
180/15 = 12
12 x -1 = -12/180

C -1/3
180/3 = 60
60 x -1 = -60/180

D
-1/9
180/9 = 20
20 x -1 = -20/180

-105 < -60 < -40 < -20 < -12

A < C < x < D < B
