Sam recorded how many punded he gained each month for four months and recorded the results as: 1/8, 0.75, 2/5, 5,6. list the amount he gained each month in order from least to greatest

1/8, 2/5, 0.75, 5, 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can convert each result into decimal form by dividing the numerator (top) by the denominator (bottom).

1/8=0.125

0.75 stays the same since it is already a decimal.

2/5=0.4

5.0 stays the same since it is already a decimal.

6.0 stays the same since it is already a decimal.

To order from least to greatest, we examine the place value of each decimal. The least have the smallest number in the ones, tenths, hundredths, etc.

0<5 so we know 0.125, 0.75, and 0.4 are less than 5 or 6. We do the same in the tenths place and find 1<4<7 for our least greatest decimals.
