28/9= 3.111
14/3=4.66
17/4=4.25
4.35
18/5=3.6
3.75
least to greatest is
29/9, 18/5, 3.75, 17/4, 4.35, 14/3
for the second
1/2 is one half of some, 1/3 is one third, 1/4 is one fourth..
so least to greatest is 1/6, 1/5, 1/4. 1/3, 1/2.. Although they appear smaller they arent. This is because the fractions represent an amount of a whole number. 1/2 a dollar is 50 cents, while 1/4 of a dollar is only 25 cents get it?

In answer to the first problem:
The order is 28/9, 18/5, 3.75, 17/4, 4.35, 14/3
In answer to the second question you need to put those numbers in reverse order: 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3 , 1/2

it's the opposite.
1/2,1/3,1/4,1/5,1/6 is the greatest to least
remember, 1/2 is greater than 1/3
1/3 is greater than 1/4
picture a pie. you divide it in half (1/2) you got bigger pieces in two rather than when you divided in 3 (1/3)
