Step 1: Find a common denominator for 2/3, 3/4, and 5/12.
The LCD of 3, 4, and 12 is 12.
Step 2: Convert each fraction to twelfths.
2/3 = 8/12 (multiply numerator and denominator by 4)
3/4 = 9/12 (multiply numerator and denominator by 3)
5/12 = 5/12 (already in twelfths)
Step 3: Arrange in descending order.
9/12 > 8/12 > 5/12
So: 3/4 > 2/3 > 5/12
