Angela will find herself in timeout for trying to impersonate a tutor here. That's a BIG no-no.

Why are you GUESSING?
To order numbers from least to greatest, you need to compare them and place them in ascending order based on their values.
For the numbers 0, 1/2, and 0.25:
1. Start by comparing 0 and 1/2. Since 0 is smaller than 1/2, we have 0 before 1/2.
2. Next, compare 0 and 0.25. Since 0 is still smaller than 0.25, we have 0 before 0.25.
3. Finally, compare 1/2 and 0.25. Since 0.25 is smaller than 1/2, we have 0.25 before 1/2.
Therefore, correctly ordered from least to greatest is:
0, 0.25, 1/2
For the numbers 1.25, 6, and 12/3:
1. Start by comparing 1.25 and 6. Since 1.25 is smaller than 6, we have 1.25 before 6.
2. Next, compare 1.25 and 12/3. To compare a mixed number (12/3) with a decimal (1.25), convert the mixed number to a decimal. In this case, 12/3 equals 4. Therefore, we have 1.25 before 4.
3. Finally, compare 6 and 12/3 (or 4). Since 4 is smaller than 6, we have 4 before 6.
Therefore, correctly ordered from least to greatest is:
1.25, 4, 6
