Answer:

3.4, 1/4, 12%, -0.01, -26.1

Explanation:

The simplest way to do these type of problems is to convert all of the numbers into either a fraction, decimal, or a percentage. In my opinion, it is easier to use a percentage here.

12% is already a percentage

-0.01 = -1%

1/4 = 25%

3.4 = 340%

-26.1 = -2610%

Now that the rational numbers are all in the same unit, it is easier to sort them. In the end, we get this list (from greatest to least):

3.4, 1/4, 12%, -0.01, -26.1

FINAL ANSWER: 3.4, 1/4, 12%, -0.01, -26.1
