First, calculate get the lowest common denominator (LCM) of each. Then divide the LCM from the original denominator, and then the answer will be multiplied by the numerator. Lastly, compare which is the biggest numerator or the smallest denominator.

Example:

1/3 , 2/5, 3/6

1/3=30 divided by 3 =10 x 1=10

2/5=30 divided by 5=6 x 2=12

3/6=30 divided by 6=5 x 3=15

Answer: smallest to largest/ greatest

1/3,2/5,3/6

Answer: largest / greatest to smallest

3/6,2/5,1/3

LCM:30

You can also look at a ruler that has lines for fractions.

Smallest to largest would be:

1/16ths

1/8ths

1/4ths

1/2s

3/4ths
