Answer 2

The right order is:

1. 0.085
2. 1/3
3. 2/5
4. 60%
5. 3/4
6. 78%
7. 1.05

Explanation:

To identify the right order of the numbers given in order from the smallest to largest, you first must convert all the numbers to the same mode (fractions, decimals or percentages), in this case, I will transform all the numbers to decimals, for this you must divide the fractions or operate the percentages, and you will obtain:

• 0.085 = 0.085
• 1/3 = 0.33333333333
• 60% = 0.6
• 2/5 = 0.4
• 3/4 = 0.75
• 1.05 = 1.05
• 78% = 0.78

How you can see, in this form is easier than the original form, now you can identify that 2/5 (0.4) is smaller than 60% (0.6) and 1.05 is bigger than 78% (0.78).
