Order Items:

[-\frac{12}{40}][3 \frac{36}{40}][3.5]

Convert to decimals: Convert all numbers to decimals for easier comparison. $\newline$ $-\frac{12}{40}$ as a decimal: $-12 \div 40 = -0.3$ $\newline$ $3 \frac{36}{40}$ as a decimal: $3 + \frac{36}{40} = 3 + 0.9 = 3.9$ $\newline$ $3.5$ remains as $3.5$
Compare decimal values: Compare the decimal values to determine the order. $\newline$ $-0.3$ (from $-\frac{12}{40}$ ), $3.9$ (from $3 \frac{36}{40}$ ), and $3.5$ $\newline$ Ordering these: $-0.3$ , $3.5$ , $3.9$
Convert back to original: Convert the decimals back to the original or simplified forms for the final answer. $\newline$ $-0.3$ remains as $-\frac{12}{40}$ $\newline$ $3.5$ remains as $3.5$ $\newline$ $3.9$ converts back to $3 \frac{36}{40}$
