Let's solve each question step by step. The goal is to
order the given numbers (fractions, decimals, and percentages) in ascending order. To do this, we'll convert all values into
decimals, which makes comparison easy.

🔁 Conversion Rules:
-
Fractions → Decimals: Divide numerator by denominator.
-
Percentages → Decimals: Divide by 100 (e.g., 57.1% = 57.1 ÷ 100 = 0.571).

✔ Question 1:
Numbers: 0.3, 1/5, 1/2, 0.706, 7/8, 57.1%
Step 1: Convert all to decimals
- 0.3 →
0.3
- 1/5 = 1 ÷ 5 =
0.2
- 1/2 = 1 ÷ 2 =
0.5
- 0.706 →
0.706
- 7/8 = 7 ÷ 8 =
0.875
- 57.1% = 57.1 ÷ 100 =
0.571
Step 2: List in ascending order
Now sort the decimals:
- 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.571, 0.706, 0.875
Final Answer (original forms):
1/5, 0.3, 1/2, 57.1%, 0.706, 7/8
