She needs to convert all the numbers be be the same type ( fraction or decimal).

With the numbers she has it would be easiest to convert all the numbers to decimals.

72/80 = 0.9

3 1/5 = 3.3

Pi = 3.14

Now she can arrange the decimals in order:

-2.9, 0.9, 2.979, 3.14, 3.2

She needs to switch 3 1/5 and pi
