How would you order these numbers from least to greatest?

3/8, 36%, 5/16, 51%

To order these numbers from least to greatest, we need to convert them all to the same format, such as decimals.

1. **3/8** = \( \frac{3}{8} = 0.375 \)
2. **36%** = \( 36\% = 0.36 \)
3. **5/16** = \( \frac{5}{16} = 0.3125 \)
4. **51%** = \( 51\% = 0.51 \)

Now that all the numbers are in decimal form, we can compare them:

- \( 0.3125 \) (5/16)
- \( 0.36 \) (36%)
- \( 0.375 \) (3/8)
- \( 0.51 \) (51%)

### Ordering from least to greatest:
\( 5/16 \), \( 36\% \), \( 3/8 \), \( 51\% \).
