Agreed, just use a line or convert to common denominators.

-6 6/9
- 6 2/3 = -6 and x/9

that sort of thing. Then it'll be easy to compare

Your question has been answered correctly, however, make certain that you know what the strategy is when ordering fractions from least to greatest, or from greatest to least.

Change the fraction into a decimal. You can use a calculator, or divide the denominator into the numerator.

Ex. -6 6/9 = -6 .67, -6 2/3 = -6 .67, 4 6/7 = 4 .86, 4 4/5 = 4.80

Now, you can put them in order:

-6 6/9, - 6 2/3, 4 4/5, 4 6/7

Finally, do not forget the number-line:

....... -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 .....

Master these skills because you will need them for all math standardized test in the future...study.

You are NOT helping by doing it for him.
:(
He needs that info later in life and he will not have learned it. You are setting him up for failure when it counts not when it is just a grade.
