To find out how much you owe your brother, you need to calculate 1/3 of the total earnings of $300.
\[ \text{Amount owed to brother} = \frac{1}{3} \times 300 = 100 \]
So, you owe your brother $100.

To order the fractions \( \frac{1}{3} \), \( \frac{1}{4} \), \( \frac{2}{3} \), and \( \frac{5}{6} \) from least to greatest, it's helpful to convert them to a common denominator or compare their decimal values. Here, I'll convert them to decimal:
- \( \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.33 \)
- \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)
- \( \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.67 \)
- \( \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.83 \)
Now, ordering these decimals from least to greatest:
- \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)
- \( \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.33 \)
- \( \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.67 \)
- \( \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.83 \)
So, the order from least to greatest is:
\[ \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{5}{6} \]
