Put these numbers in order from least to greatest.

 8 1/2 , 8 3/5, 8.43

To order the numbers from least to greatest, let's first express them consistently. We can convert each number to its decimal form:

- \( 8 \frac{1}{2} = 8.5 \)
- \( 8 \frac{3}{5} = 8.6 \)
- \( 8.43 \) is already in decimal form.

Now we can compare the numbers:

- \( 8.43 \)
- \( 8.5 \)
- \( 8.6 \)

So, the numbers in order from least to greatest are:
\[
8.43, 8 \frac{1}{2}, 8 \frac{3}{5}
\]
