\begin{gathered} 4*2(1)/(8)=4*((8*2+1)/(8)) \\ =4*(16+1)/(8) \\ =(17)/(2) \\ =8.5 \end{gathered}
(17)/(8)*(5)/(1)=(85)/(8)=10.625
\begin{gathered} 3(1)/(8)*(12)/(2)=(3*8+1)/(8)*6 \\ =(25)/(8)*6 \\ =(25)/(4)*3 \\ =(75)/(4) \\ =18.75 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the expressions can be arranged from least to greatest as,


4*2(1)/(8)\text{ < }(17)/(8)*(5)/(1)\text{ < 3}(1)/(8)*(12)/(2)
