help a girl out with math!! i really can’t seem to understand how they get the different numerators.

When you find the common denominator, multiply the numerator by the same number you do the denominator.
5: 1/6 - multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2: 1*2/2*6 = 2/12
2/12 < 5/12
6:
LCM would be 33
2/3 = 2*11 / 3*11 = 22/33
8/11 = 8*3 / 11*3 = 24/33
22/33 < 24/33
