looks like they are just aligning things up from little to big; you can use a calculator to put them all into the same format ... decimate them that is :)

oh. ok thank u

1.) we all know that any square root of something is lesser that the number itself so square root of 2 is the first one. Then followed by 2. Since 12/5 is 2.4 (which is greater than 2), we put it next to 2. 5/2 is 2.5 so it's after 2.4 . 2.6 comes next then 6 .

-7/8 is almost -1

if by hand; its just a matter of converting the fractions into like denominators and comparing the tops
