​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{-2}{3} , \frac{-5}{12} , \frac{7}{-18} , \frac{4}{-9}$

Tips:

If you are having trouble arranging negative fractions, try by arranging them as if they were positive, then flipping them like this:

$\frac{4}{-9} , \frac{7}{-18} , \frac{-5}{12} , \frac{-2}{3}$

$\frac{-2}{3} , \frac{-5}{12} , \frac{7}{-18} , \frac{4}{-9}$
