For each number we have to do two steps before ordering them:

Step 1. Convert to decimal

Step 2. Find the absolute value

For the number 0.6

Convert to decimal: 0.6

Find the absolute value: l 0.6 l=0.6

For the number 1/8

Convert to decimal: 0.125

Find the absolute value: l 0.125 l= 0.125

For the number -1/2

Convert to decimal: -0.5

Find the absolute value: l -0.5 l= 0.5

For the number -0.4

Convert to decimal: -0.4

Find the absolute value: l -0.4 l =0.4

For the number 0.85

Convert to decimal: 0.85

Find the absolute value: l 0.85 l=0.85

For the number -0.7

Convert to decimal: -0.7

Find the absolute value: l -0.7 l =0.7

So, the list of number we have in decimal form is:

0.6, 0.125, 0.5, 0.4, 0.85, 0.7

Finally, we order them from least to greatest:

0.125

0.40

0.50

0.60

0.70

0.85

If you don't need further explanation, we can end the session, have a nice day!
