1. Write down the given numbers:
   - $$ -\frac{5}{6} $$
   - $$ -\frac{1}{4} $$
   - $$ \frac{3}{8} $$
   - $$ -\frac{5}{12} $$
   - $$ \frac{7}{24} $$

2. Convert each fraction to a decimal to facilitate comparison:

- $$ -\frac{5}{6} \approx -0.8333 $$
   - $$ -\frac{1}{4} = -0.25 $$
   - $$ \frac{3}{8} = 0.375 $$
   - $$ -\frac{5}{12} \approx -0.4167 $$
   - $$ \frac{7}{24} \approx 0.2917 $$

3. Arrange the numbers from smallest to largest using their decimal approximations:

- The smallest is $$ -\frac{5}{6} $$ (about $$-0.8333$$).
   - Next is $$ -\frac{5}{12} $$ (about $$-0.4167$$).
   - Next is $$ -\frac{1}{4} $$ (exactly $$-0.25$$).
   - Then comes $$ \frac{7}{24} $$ (about $$0.2917$$).
   - Finally, the largest is $$ \frac{3}{8} $$ (exactly $$0.375$$).

4. The arranged order from smallest to largest is:

$$
-\frac{5}{6} \, < \, -\frac{5}{12} \, < \, -\frac{1}{4} \, < \, \frac{7}{24} \, < \, \frac{3}{8}
$$
The numbers arranged from smallest to largest are: $$ -\frac{5}{6}, -\frac{5}{12}, -\frac{1}{4}, \frac{7}{24}, \frac{3}{8} $$

Compare and arrange the foll (a) \( -\frac{5}{6},-\frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{8},-\frac{5}{12}, \frac{7}{24} \)
