The order from smallest to largest is $\frac{13}{20}, \frac{11}{16}, \frac{7}{9}, \frac{5}{6}$ $13/20,11/16,7/9,5/6$

Explanation:

The easiest way to order the following fractions (in fact all real numbers) from smallest to largest is to first convert them to decimal form. Hence, let us do this for these four numbers.

$7/9=0.7777777777......$

$5/6=0.83333333........$

$13/20=0.65$

$11/16=0.6875$

Hence the order from smallest to largest is

$13/20,11/16,7/9,5/6$
