If you get a common denominator here you can tell which one is biggest and which one is smallest and everything in between. The common denominator is 48, so the fractions would be
[tex] \frac{24}{48}, \frac{9}{48} , \frac{36}{48} , \frac{17}{48} [/tex] in the order from above. Now you can see which is biggest and which is smallest, etc.
