we can either convert them to decimals or to fractions
if decimals
2/3=0.66666666
4/5=8/10=0.8
so the order is
-0.6, 0.65, 0.66, 0.8 or
-0.6, 0.65, 2/3, 4/5

if conver to fractions then
since -0.6 is negative, it is smallest, no need to convert
0.65=65 hundreths=65/100
2/3=66/99=prety close
4/5=8/10=80/100
order is
-0.6, 65/100, 66/99, 80/100 or
-0.6, 0.65, 2/3, 0.8
