7/8 0.98 8/9 from least to greatest

To put these numbers from least to greatest, we first need to make them all the same type of number.  In my opinion, numbers are easiest to work with when they are in decimal form.  So, we are going to divide these fractions so that they are in decimal form. 

7/8 0.98 8/9     =     0.875  0.98  0.888

To judge how much value a decimal has, the first place you need to look is the tenths place, directly to the right of the decimal point.  So, from just looking at one integer, we know that 0.98 is the greatest decimal.

Next, to find whether 7/8 or 8/9 is bigger, we need to go to the next decimal place to the right.  8 is larger than 7, which means 0.88 is greater than 0.875.

So, when we put all of our computations in our final answer, these numbers from least to greatest are

7/8 8/9 0.98

8 + = 8 + = 8 + 4 = 12
