Put these numbers in order from greatest to least.

0.81 , 1/4, 0.16 , 1/8

To order these numbers from greatest to least, it's helpful to express them all as either decimals or fractions. Let's convert them into decimals:

- \( 0.81 \) is already in decimal form.
- \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)
- \( 0.16 \) is already in decimal form.
- \( \frac{1}{8} = 0.125 \)

Now, we can compare the decimals:

- \( 0.81 \)
- \( 0.25 \)
- \( 0.16 \)
- \( 0.125 \)

So, from greatest to least, the order is:

\[
0.81, \frac{1}{4} (0.25), 0.16, \frac{1}{8} (0.125)
\]
