Answer: 0.416, 5/12, 42%

The middle value is 5/12

Step-by-step explanation: I converted all of them into decimals, so it would be easier to compare. (5/12=0.41666667) (0.416=0.416) (42%=0.42)

If you want me to show you how to convert into decimals just let me know.

I decided to put them as decimals. 5/12 is equivalent to 0.416. Then there is a decimal already there, which is also 0.416. Then there is 42% which as a decimal is 0.42.

In order it is

0.416, 0.416, and 0.42

The first two are equivalent :P
