`(1)/(4) (7)/(24) (3)/(8) (4)/(9)`
​

Answer 1

Greatest to least - 4/9, 3/8, 7/24, 1/4,

Least to greatest - 1/4, 7/24, 3/8, 4/9

Answer 2

1/4, 7/24, 3/8, 4/9.

Explanation:

The Lowest common multiple of 4, 24, 8 and 9 is 72 so we convert all the fractions to denominator 72:

So we have:

1/4 = 18/72,

7/24 = 21/72

3/8 = 27/72

4/9 = 32/72

So in ascending order they are:

28/72, 21/72, 27/72 , 32/72

= 1/4, 7/24, 3/8, 4/9.
