%285m%2Fn%29%2F%282%2F3%29=%285m%2A3%29%2F%282%2An%29=15m%2F2n

5%2F8+-+3%2F6...find common denominator....for 8 and 6 that is 24; so, in first term multiply both nominator and denominator by 3 and second term multiply both nominator and denominator by 4
=%285%2A3%29%2F%288%2A3%29+-+%283%2A4%29%2F%286%2A4%29
=15%2F24+-12%2F24
=%2815-12%29%2F24
=3%2F24.....simplify...divide both nominator and denominator by 3
=cross%283%291%2Fcross%2824%298
=1%2F8

Order the following from least to greatest:
-7/8=-0.875
-5/6=-0.83333333333333333333333333333333
6
8
-5
order:
-5,-0.875, -0.833, 6, 8
