(1)/(9) = (1 * 8)/(9 * 8) = (8)/(72) \\


(1)/(2) = (1 * 36)/(2 * 36) = (36)/(72) \\


(1)/(8) = (1 * 9)/(8 * 9) = (9)/(72) \\

_________________________________


(8)/(72) < (9)/(72) < (36)/(72) \\


(1)/(9) < (1)/(8) < (1)/(2) \\

Thus the order from greatest to least is :


(1)/(2) \: , \: (1)/(8) \: , \: (1)/(9) \\
