1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve two problems.
The first problem is to evaluate the expression 3416\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{6}.
The second problem is to order the following fractions from smallest to largest: 56\frac{5}{6}, 49\frac{4}{9}, and 23\frac{2}{3}.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's solve 3416\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{6}.
To subtract these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 6 is
1
2.
34=3×34×3=912\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{9}{12}
16=1×26×2=212\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{2}{12}
So, 3416=912212=9212=712\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{9}{12} - \frac{2}{12} = \frac{9-2}{12} = \frac{7}{12}.
Next, let's order the fractions 56\frac{5}{6}, 49\frac{4}{9}, and 23\frac{2}{3} from smallest to largest.
To compare these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 6, 9, and 3 is
1
8.
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}
23=2×63×6=1218\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 6}{3 \times 6} = \frac{12}{18}
Now we can compare the fractions: 818<1218<1518\frac{8}{18} < \frac{12}{18} < \frac{15}{18}.
Therefore, 49<23<56\frac{4}{9} < \frac{2}{3} < \frac{5}{6}.

3. Final Answer

The first problem's answer is 712\frac{7}{12}.
The second problem's answer is 49,23,56\frac{4}{9}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{5}{6}.
