There are two ways to arrange them in ascending or descending order.

The first way is to convert them into similar fractions (if they are not similar fractions yet), and arrange them in the order that you like.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Example} \\ \frac{2}{3},\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Convert them to similar fractions, by getting their LCD and we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{LCD}(2,3,4)=12 \\ \frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{12} \\ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{6}{12} \\ \frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{12} \end{gathered}[/tex]

We can now arrange them based on their numerators

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Ascending} \\ \frac{6}{12},\frac{8}{12},\frac{9}{12}\Longrightarrow\frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4} \\ \\ \text{Descending} \\ \frac{9}{12},\frac{8}{12},\frac{6}{12}\Longrightarrow\frac{3}{4},\frac{2}{3},\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Another way to arrange them is to get their decimal equivalent, and arrange them accordingly

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Example} \\ \frac{2}{3}=0.67 \\ \frac{1}{2}=0.5 \\ \frac{3}{4}=0.75 \\ \\ \text{Ascending} \\ 0.5,0.67,0.75\Longrightarrow\frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4} \\ \\ \text{Descending} \\ 0.75,0.67,0.5\rightarrow\frac{3}{4},\frac{2}{3},\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]
