First, express all the mixed numbers as decimals:
2 1/2 = (2x2+1)/2 = 5/2 = 2.5
1 2/5 = (5x1+2)/5 = 7/5 = 1.4
1 3/4 = (1x4+3)/4 = 7/4 = 1.75
2 2/3 = (2x3+2)/3 = 8/3 = 2.67
3 1/4 = (3x4+1)/4 = 13/4 = 3.25
Now, we have
1. 2.5
2. 1.4
3. 1.75
4. 2.67
5. 3.25
From least to greatest.
2. 1.4
3. 1.75
1. 2.5
4. 2.67
5. 3.25
