Answer: -2, -1/3, 1/2, 5/6

======================================

Work Shown:

Let,

A = 1/2

B = 5/6

C = -2

D = -1/3

Convert each fraction to decimal form

A = 1/2 = 0.5

B = 5/6 = 0.833 approximately

C = -2

D = -1/3 = -0.333 approximately

So,

A = 0.5, B = 0.833, C = -2, D = -0.333

they sort to

C = -2, D = -0.333, A = 0.5 and B = 0.833 when writing in ascending order.

Therefore,

C = -2, D = -1/3, A = 1/2, B = 5/6 is the order from least to greatest.
