Answer:

0.012, 1/12 , 6% , 1/6

Explanation:

To put these numbers in order, you need to first put them in the same form. Let's turn them all into decimal form.

* To put fractions in decimal form you need to divide the numerator into the denominator.

* To put a percent into a fraction you need to understand that this percent is out of 100. ex: 6% = 6/100 , 3% = 3/100 11% = 11/100. so in order to put the new fraction into a decimal, you put it in the correct decimal place. This is wrong 6/100 = .60 this reads 6 tenths so we need to go over a decimal place.

This is correct 6/100 = .06 This is 6 tenths.

So let's go through: _

1 divided by 6 equals 0.16

6% is equal to .06

0.012 is already in decimal form 0.012 _

1 divided by 12 equals 0.083

#Always remember you have to put the numbers in the original form that they were given.

# Also the more decimal places a number has behind the decimal the less the number

Ex: 0.012 > 0.011 Even though these have the same decimal place 0.012 is greater because it's a greater number.

0.12 > 0.012
