Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Make the denominators the same
We need to compare $\frac{1}{3}$, $\frac{4}{9}$ and $\frac{2}{9}$. The common - denominator of 3 and 9 is 9. Since $\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1\times3}{3\times3}=\frac{3}{9}$.
## Step2: Compare the fractions
Now we have $\frac{3}{9}$, $\frac{4}{9}$ and $\frac{2}{9}$. When the denominators are the same, the larger the numerator, the larger the fraction. So $\frac{4}{9}>\frac{3}{9}>\frac{2}{9}$.
## Step3: Match the countries with the fractions
Since $\frac{4}{9}$ corresponds to Indonesia, $\frac{3}{9}$ (which is $\frac{1}{3}$) corresponds to Ghana, and $\frac{2}{9}$ corresponds to Tunisia.
# Answer:
Indonesia, Ghana, Tunisia
