$8/3$ = 2 $2/3$ or 2.75

30% = $30/100$ or 0.3

3 = 3

Therefore, least to greatest = 30%, $8/3$ , 3

First, we must commonly link all terms (making them all into a decimal)

$8/3$ = 2 $2/3$ or 2.75

30% = $30/100$ or 0.3

3 = 3.0

This allows for the easy arrangement of the three values from least/lowest to greatest as shown below and above.

30%, $8/3$ , 3
