Answer:
(1)/(5) ,(1)/(3) ,(4)/(6)

Explanation:

In order to order the fractions from least to greatest, we find a common denominator.


(1)/(3) , (4)/(6) , (1)/(5)

We can simplify
(4)/(6) to
(2)/(3) which is a common denominator of two fractions now.


(1)/(3) , (2)/(3) ,(1)/(5)

A common denominator can be found if you multiply 3 by 5 and 5 by 3.


(5)/(15),(10)/(15) ,(3)/(15)

Now that they all have the same denominator you are able to place them from least to greatest.


(3)/(15) , (5)/(15) ,(10)/(15)

Now simplify the fractions back to their original states.


(1)/(5) ,(1)/(3) ,(4)/(6)
