Since all the numbers but the mixed number [tex] 2\frac{4}{5} [/tex] are in decimal form, we need to convert that mixed fraction to decimal form first.
Remember that to convert a mixed number to decimal form, we just need to divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator of the fraction, and then we add the the result to the whole number. Notice that the denominator of our mixed number is [tex] \frac{4}{5} [/tex] and its whole number is [tex] 2 [/tex], so let's convert it to decimal form:
[tex] \frac{4}{5} =0.8 [/tex]
[tex] 2+0.8=2.8 [/tex]
Now that we have our all numbers in decimal form, we can compare them to list them from least to greatest:
[tex] 2.3,2.8,2.6 [/tex]
2.3 is less than 2.6, and 2.6 is less than 2.8, so the least number is 2.3, then 2.6, which leaves us with 2.8 as the greatest number. Or in mathematical notation: [tex] 2.3<2.6<2.8 [/tex]
We can conclude that 2.3,2 4/5,2.6 listed from least to greatest is: [tex] 2.3,2.6,2\frac{4}{5} [/tex]
