In order of largest to smallest: (5/4), 0.75, 60%, 0.5, 0.2

Let’s start by making everything a decimal.
We already have 0.75, 0.2, and 0.5.
(5/4) = 1.25
Divide the percentage by 100; 60% can be written as 0.6.

The *decimals* order from largest to smallest: 1.25, 0.75, 0.6, 0.5, 0.2.

The original numbers from largest to smallest (it’s the same order-just using the different forms of numbers you were given):
(5/4), 0.75, 60%, 0.5, 0.2
