example 2. Arrange , , , and in ascending order.
6 6 6 6 6

Solution.

1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < 5
6 6 6 6 6
1 2 3 4 5
Since 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < 5, <<<<
6 6 6 6 6
1 2 3 4 5
The fractions in ascending order are: <<<< .
6 6 6 6 6
2 5 7 3 6
example 3. Arrange the fractions ,,, and in descending order.
9 9 9 9 9
Solution. Comparing the numerators of the given fractions, 7 > 6 > 5 > 3 > 2.

7 6 5 3 2
So, >>>> . Tips
9 9 9 9 9
The fractions in descending order are: When comparing like fractions, compare

7 6 5 3 2
>>>> . their numerators. The fraction with the
9 9 9 9 9 greater numerator is the larger fraction.
