\(\dfrac{-1}{2}=\dfrac{-9}{18};\dfrac{-5}{9}=\dfrac{-10}{18};\dfrac{-1}{3}=\dfrac{-6}{18}\)
mà -10<-9<-6<0
nên \(-\dfrac{5}{9}< -\dfrac{1}{2}< -\dfrac{1}{3}< 0\)(1)
Ta có: \(\dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{15}{36};\dfrac{7}{18}=\dfrac{14}{36};\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{12}{36}\)
mà \(0< \dfrac{12}{36}< \dfrac{14}{36}< \dfrac{15}{36}\)
nên \(0< \dfrac{1}{3}< \dfrac{7}{18}< \dfrac{5}{12}\left(2\right)\)
Từ (1),(2) suy ra \(-\dfrac{5}{9}< -\dfrac{1}{2}< -\dfrac{1}{3}< \dfrac{1}{3}< \dfrac{7}{18}< \dfrac{5}{12}\)
