We are asked to order the numbers from least to greatest.

1. -3/4, 0.5, 2/3, -7/3, 1.2

Let us convert them into decimals

-0.75, 0.5, 0.67, -2.33, 1.2

Now let us arrange them from least to greatest.

-2.33, -0.75, 0.5, 0.67, 1.2

Now let us convert the decimal back into fractions as they were before,

-7/3, -3/4, 0.5, 2/3, 1.2

2. -1.4, -8/5, 0.6, -0.09, 1/4

Let us convert them into decimals

-1.4, -1.6, 0.6, -0.09, 0.25

Now let us arrange them from least to greatest.

-1.6, -1.4, -0.09, 0.25, 0.6

Now let us convert the decimal back into fractions as they were before,

-8/5, -1.4, -0.09, 1/4, 0.6

3. -7/2, -2.8, -5/4, 4/3, 1.3

Let us convert them into decimals

-3.5, -2.8, -1.25, 1.33, 1.3

Now let us arrange them from least to greatest.

-3.5, -2.8, -1.25, 1.3, 1.33 (1.33 is greater than 1.30)

Now let us convert the decimal back into fractions as they were before,

-7/2, -2.8, -5/4, 1.3, 4/3

Therefore, we have successfully ordered the given numbers from least to greatest.

1. -7/3, -3/4, 0.5, 2/3, 1.2

2. -8/5, -1.4, -0.09, 1/4, 0.6

3. -7/2, -2.8, -5/4, 1.3, 4/3
