Final answer:

To order fractions from least to greatest, find a common denominator and compare the numerators.


Step-by-step explanation:

To put these fractions in order from least to greatest, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 4, 6, and 12 is 12. Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 12, we get:

  1. 2/4 = 6/12
  2. 5/6 = 10/12
  3. 8/12

So, from least to greatest, the fractions are: 6/12, 10/12, and 8/12.
