1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to order the fractions 23\frac{2}{3}, 56\frac{5}{6}, and 49\frac{4}{9} from smallest to largest.

2. Solution Steps

To compare the fractions, we need to find a common denominator.
The least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators 3, 6, and 9 is
1

8. Now, we convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of

1

8. $\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 6}{3 \times 6} = \frac{12}{18}$

56=5×36×3=1518\frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 3}{6 \times 3} = \frac{15}{18}
49=4×29×2=818\frac{4}{9} = \frac{4 \times 2}{9 \times 2} = \frac{8}{18}
Now we can compare the fractions easily since they have the same denominator.
We compare the numerators: 8 < 12 <
1

5. So, $\frac{8}{18} < \frac{12}{18} < \frac{15}{18}$.

Replacing the fractions with the original fractions, we have 49<23<56\frac{4}{9} < \frac{2}{3} < \frac{5}{6}.

3. Final Answer

The fractions in order from smallest to largest are 49\frac{4}{9}, 23\frac{2}{3}, 56\frac{5}{6}.
