Answer by josgarithmetic(39620)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The list involves signed numbers, mixed numbers, and decimal numbers. The percents are simply another way to show decimal numbers. Suggestion: decimalize all nonwhole numbers so placement decision on the number line will be easier. You and he will need to make sense of some of the scaling judgement yourselves.
List the numbers as they should appear from left (lesser) to right (greater).
This may APPROXIMATELY be:
-25.9, -0.36, 0.49, 61%, 2.012, 2&4/9, 3.1662, 350%, 12.4
