Answer:

(a) 5/6

Explanation:

Positive numbers are greater than negative ones.

Fractions with the same denominator are greater if their numerator is greater.

All of these fractions have the same denominator. Because 5 > 1 > -1 > -5, the ordering of the fractions is ...

5/6 > 1/6 > -1/6 > -5/6

The fraction with the greatest value is 5/6.
