#8/3# = 2#2/3# or 2.75

30% = #30/100# or 0.3

3 = 3

Therefore, least to greatest = 30%, #8/3#, 3

First, we must commonly link all terms (making them all into a decimal)

#8/3# = 2#2/3# or 2.75

30% = #30/100# or 0.3

3 = 3.0

This allows for the easy arrangement of the three values from least/lowest to greatest as shown below and above.

30%, #8/3#, 3
