Answer:


(11)/(12),
1(1)/(4),
1(2)/(3)

Explanation:

It wants you to take these 3 fractions and arrange them from least to greatest.

The first thing I did was look for the fraction with no number in front of it.


(11)/(12) is the only fraction that has no numbers in front of it. So

The second thing I did was look for the fraction that had the biggest number in front of it. I see that the remaining fractions have the same number in front.

So, I drew 2 circles. 1 of the circles I shaded in and the other I split into 4 equal halves. I shaded in one of the halves. These 2 circles represent
1(1)/(4).

The next thing I did was draw 2 more circles. I shaded in one of them and slit the other one into 3 equal halves. I shaded in 2 of the halves. These 2 circles represent
1(2)/(3).

Last, look at the 4 circles and ask yourself which one is the most shaded in. If you said
1(2)/(3) you are correct. This fraction is the biggest. Meaning that
1(1)/(4) is in the middle.
