Is 1/3 , 3/4 , 0.2 in order from least to greatest or is 5 1/8 , 5 1/4 , 5 2/3 in order from least to greatest?
The second set is in order from least to greatest.

To determine the order from least to greatest, we need to compare the given numbers.
Let's start with the first set of numbers: 1/3, 3/4, and 0.2.
To compare fractions, it's helpful to have a common denominator. In this case, we can convert 1/3 to 4/12. Now we can compare the three numbers:
0.2 is equivalent to 2/10 and can be simplified to 1/5. Since 1/5 < 4/12, 0.2 is the smallest.
Next, we compare 1/5 and 3/4. To do this, we need to find a common denominator, which in this case is 20.
Converting 1/5 to have a denominator of 20 gives us 4/20. Now we can compare 4/20 and 15/20. Since 4/20 < 15/20, 1/5 is smaller than 3/4.
Therefore, the order from least to greatest for the first set is: 0.2, 1/3, 3/4.
Now let's move on to the second set of numbers: 5 1/8, 5 1/4, and 5 2/3.
To compare these mixed fractions, we need to convert them to improper fractions.
5 1/8 can be written as 41/8.
5 1/4 can be written as 21/4.
5 2/3 can be written as 17/3.
Now we compare the three improper fractions. Since 17/3 > 21/4 > 41/8, the order from least to greatest for the second set is: 5 1/8, 5 1/4, 5 2/3.
Therefore, the first set is ordered from least to greatest as: 0.2, 1/3, 3/4 and the second set is ordered from least to greatest as: 5 1/8, 5 1/4, 5 2/3.
