Problem

Convert the survey results \(3/8\), \(0.4\), and \(42\%\) to decimals and list them from least to greatest for the spreadsheet.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

The spreadsheet requires decimals, so that target form should guide both the conversions and the final sort. We’ll divide the fraction, divide the percent by one hundred, preserve the given decimal, and align every value through the thousandths place. Comparing the aligned digits then produces a reliable least-to-greatest sequence.
