Final answer:

To compare the given numbers and list them from least to greatest, each value was converted to a decimal form, and then they were ordered accordingly: 7%, 11%, 1/8, 3/20, 0.172, 0.32, 43%, 0.7, 5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange the numbers 1/8, 11%, 3/20, 0.172, 0.32, 43%, 7%, 0.7, 5/6 from least to greatest, we'll first convert all of them to decimals to make comparison easier. Here is the list with each value converted to a decimal:

  • 1/8 = 0.125
  • 11% = 0.11
  • 3/20 = 0.15
  • 0.172 is already in decimal form
  • 0.32 is already in decimal form
  • 43% = 0.43
  • 7% = 0.07
  • 0.7 is already in decimal form
  • 5/6 = 0.833...

Now, we put the numbers in order from least to greatest:

  1. 7% (0.07)
  2. 11% (0.11)
  3. 1/8 (0.125)
  4. 3/20 (0.15)
  5. 0.172
  6. 0.32
  7. 43% (0.43)
  8. 0.7
  9. 5/6 (0.833...)

To find out the answer you can change all the numbers to either a decimal, or fraction, or percentage... Then it will be easy for you to find the answer :D
