Answer:

1.2, 3/5, 25%, 0.17, -12

Explanation:

In order to put these from greatest to least, you must put these in like terms.

Since there are more decimals that other terms, we're going to convert them all to decimals.

25%= 0.25

0.17= 0.17

3/5= 0.60

1.2= 1.20

-12= -12.00

Now that we see which numbers are greater, we convert them back to their original terms and place them in order from greatest to least.

1.2, 3/5, 25%, 0.17, -12
