To arrange the given fractions and mixed numbers in numeric order from smallest to largest, let's first convert them into improper fractions or decimal form for easier comparison.

  1. 46 which is simply \(46\).
  2. 212 which is \(2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5\).
  3. 234 which is \(2 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} = 2.75\).
  4. 256 which is \(2 \frac{5}{6} = \frac{17}{6} \approx 2.8333\).

Now we'll summarize and arrange these in decimal form:

  • 46 = 46
  • 212 = 2.5
  • 234 = 2.75
  • 256 ≈ 2.8333

In numeric order from smallest to largest:

  • \(2 \frac{1}{2} (212)\)
  • \(2 \frac{3}{4} (234)\)
  • \(2 \frac{5}{6} (256)\)
  • \(46\)

Thus, the correct order is:

2 Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction , 2 Start Fraction 3 over 4 End Fraction , 2 Start Fraction 5 over 6 End Fraction , 46.
