The critical ratio (CR) is calculated as CR = Due Date / Process Time. The jobs are then sequenced in ascending order of their critical ratios. Calculating the CR for each job: Job 1: 23/15, Job 2: 15/7, Job 3: 34/12, Job 4: 16/8, Job 5: 27/11, Job 6: 19/10, Job 7: 28/13. Ordering these from smallest to largest CR gives the sequence, and the third, fourth, and fifth jobs in this sequence are Job 4, Job 2, and Job 7, respectively.
