Order 1.25, -3/2, -1.25, 1 1/2 from least to greatest

To order the numbers \(1.25\), \(-\frac{3}{2}\), \(-1.25\), and \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) from least to greatest, let's first convert all the numbers into decimal form for easier comparison:

1. \( 1.25 \) is already in decimal form.
2. \( -\frac{3}{2} = -1.5 \) in decimal form.
3. \( -1.25 \) is already in decimal form.
4. \( 1 \frac{1}{2} = 1.5 \) in decimal form.

Now, we list the numbers in decimal form:
- \( 1.25 \)
- \( -1.5 \)
- \( -1.25 \)
- \( 1.5 \)

Ordering these from least to greatest:
- \( -1.5 \)
- \( -1.25 \)
- \( 1.25 \)
- \( 1.5 \)

So, the order from least to greatest is:
\[
-\frac{3}{2}, -1.25, 1.25, 1 \frac{1}{2}
\]
