The weight of books in order from lightest to heaviest are #1/2#, #3/4# and #7/8# pounds.

Explanation:

Here, Weight of math note book = #1/2# pound = 0.5 pound
Weight of Science note book =#7/8# pound = 0.875 pound
Weight of history note book = #3/4# pound = 0.75 pound
Comparing 0.5, 0.875 and 0.75 we get
0.5<0.75<0.875
