Numbers from least to greatest are #{0.18,1/5,0,21,24%}#

Explanation:

The easiest way to order numbers from least to greatest is to convert them into decimal form up to same places of decimals. Let us say up to #3# digits here. Then,

#0.21=0.210#

#1/5=(1xx20)/(5xx20)=20/100=0.200#

#0.18=0.180#

#24%=24/100=0.240#

Now compare them. Numbers from least to greatest are

#{0.18,1/5,0,21,24%}#
