0.06, 60%, 0.65, 3/5, 7/9

There's different ways to do it, but let's turn these all into decimals:

0.06 is already in decimal form

60% = 0.6

0.65 is already in decimal form

3/5 = 0.6

7/9 = 0.7777777 (7's forever)

We can put the decimals in order like this:

0.06, 0.6, 0.6, 0.65, 0.77777 (forever)

Then turn them back into their original forms like this:

0.06, 60%, 3/5, 0.65, 7/9

Note:  Since 60% and 3/5 are equal, you can also do this:

0.06, 3/5, 60%, 0.65, 7/9

Answer:  There are two answers- 0.06, 60%, 3/5, 0.65, 7/9 and 0.06, 3/5, 60%, 0.65, 7/9.
