the answer is 3/4 > 2/3 > 5/12 > 1/6 . first we will take out L.C.M of all the number which is 12. in first case we will multiply by 1/1 . in second case we will multiply by 4/4 .in third case multiply by 3/3 . in last case multiply with 2/2.

Answer 2

first find there L.C.M of the denominators of the numbers=12
5/12*1/1=5/12
2/3*4/4=8/12
3/4*3/3=9/12
1/6=1/6*2/2=2/12
