$\frac{1}{9} = \frac{1 \times 8}{9 \times 8} = \frac{8}{72}$

$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 36}{2 \times 36} = \frac{36}{72}$

$\frac{1}{8} = \frac{1 \times 9}{8 \times 9} = \frac{9}{72}$

_________________________________

$\frac{8}{72} < \frac{9}{72} < \frac{36}{72}$

$\frac{1}{9} < \frac{1}{8} < \frac{1}{2}$

Thus the order from greatest to least is :

$\frac{1}{2} \: , \: \frac{1}{8} \: , \: \frac{1}{9}$
