1/3 is the smallest
3/7=3*6/7*6=18/42
1/3=1*14/3*14=14/42
5/6=5*7/6*7=35/42
9/14=9*3/14*3=27/42
Now,the denominators of all the fraction is equal and hence the fraction with the smallest numerator i.e.14/42 or 1/3 is the smallest of all the fractions

5/6 and 9/14 are out just on a glance (the are over 1/2, the others are less) 3/7=9/21 and 1/3=7/21, so 1/3 is smallest. (you could convert all of these to a common denominator of 42 by the way.)

common Denominator is 42
And so
3/7 = 18/42
1/3 = 14/42
5/6 = 35/42
9/14 = 27/42
Therefore 1/3 = Smallest

3/7,1/3,5/6,9/14
= 18/42, 14/42, 35/42, 27/42
smallest: =1/3

3/7 = .4286
1/3 = .3333 = smallest
5/6 = .8333
9/14 = .6429
I figured it out before performing these calculations, but someone else already had the right answer and I figured it should be broken down.
