Answer:

1/2 < 3/5 < 2/3 < 5/6

Explanation:

Using the given inputs:

1/2 5/6 2/3 3/5

The least common denominator (LCD) is: 30.

Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCD:

1/2 5/6 2/3 3/5

15/30 25/30 20/30 18/30

Sorting this table by the numerators of the equivalent fractions in order from least to greatest:

1/2 3/5 2/3 5/6

15/30 < 18/30 < 20/30 < 25/30

Therefore, the sorted inputs in order from least to greatest is:

1/2 < 3/5 < 2/3 < 5/6
