Use a calculator to change every fraction into a decimal.
Then compare the numbers.
Remember that all numbers are negative.

-5/6 = -0.8333...
-4/9 = -0.444...
-3/5 = -0.6

If your numbers were all positive, you'd be correct, but they are negative.
With negative numbers, a number that looks larger is really smaller.
OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
For example,
100 is greater than 5,
but -100 is less than -5.
