Answer:

2.125, 2 3/4, 3, 3.5

Explanation:

Change 2 3/4 to a decimal to make the comparison easier since the other three numbers are already decimals.

2 3/4 = 2.75

Now we compare: 3.5, 2.75, 2.125, 3

Numbers starting with 2 are smaller than numbers starting with 3.

Now look at the first decimal place to the right of the decimal point and compare them. Remember that 3 is the same as 3.0

Compare: 3.5, 2.75, 2.125, 3.0

The increasing order is:

2.125, 2.75, 3, 3.5

Change 2.75 back to a mixed numeral.

Answer: 2.125, 2 3/4, 3, 3.5
