Answer 1

They spent 2/9 of the funds to add flower boxes

i.e 2/9 = 0.22

5/8 of the funds for new signs

i.e 5/8 = 0.625

11/72 of the funds for a town Banner

i.e 11/72 = 0.152

Arrange the cost in the ascendinge order : 0.152 < 0.22 < 0.625

So, Funds for banner < Funds for flower boxes < Funds for new signs
