Answer 1

0.075, 0.75, 3, 4, 20

Answer 2

`0.75\% < 0.075 < 3 < 4.20`

Explanation:

We are given the following numbers:

3, 0.075, 0.75%, 4.20

We have to arrange them in order from least to greatest.

First we convert 0.75% in number format.

`0.75\% = \displaystyle(0.75)/(100) = 0.0075`

Thus, the numbers arranged in order from least to greatest is:

`0.0075 < 0.075 < 3 < 4.20`

Arrangement:

`0.75\% < 0.075 < 3 < 4.20`
