You can use the same notation and ordering for fractions as you do integers. The difficulty with fractions is that in most cases you need to find eqivalent denominators to see how they rank. Ie. If I said order for smallest to largest 2/3, 1/6, 72/96 and 24/48. It would be difficult without finding some similar base (is 2/3>72/96?). Instead if you conver them into a common base... 8/12, 2/12, 9/12, 6/12. Now you can easily order and/or compare the fractions.

You can convert them to equivalent fractions with like denominators, then simply compare the numerators.You might also convert each fraction to a decimal (divide the numerator by the denominator); then you can also compare them.
As fractions are numbers you would use the same methods as any other comparison or ordering of numbers. Largest to smallest or smallest to largest are the most likely ways

In order to multiply fractions with variables, factor all numerators and denominators completely. Use the rules for multiplying and dividing fractions, cancel any common factors, and leave your final answer in factored form.
