1. **Problem statement:** We need to find the missing values in three lists of rational numbers ordered from least to greatest.
2. **List A:** Given: $0.08$, $\frac{1}{8}$, ____, $20\%$
- Convert all to decimals for easy comparison:
- $0.08$ is already decimal.
- $\frac{1}{8} = 0.125$
- $20\% = 0.20$
- The missing value must be between $0.125$ and $0.20$.
- Choices: $12\% = 0.12$, $\frac{1}{6} \approx 0.1667$, $0.27$
- $0.12$ is less than $0.125$, so it cannot fit between $0.125$ and $0.20$.
- $0.27$ is greater than $0.20$, so it cannot fit.
- $\frac{1}{6} \approx 0.1667$ fits perfectly between $0.125$ and $0.20$.
3. **List B:** Given: $-\frac{3}{5}$, ____, $-0.55$, $-42\%$
- Convert all to decimals:
- $-\frac{3}{5} = -0.6$
- $-0.55$ is decimal.
- $-42\% = -0.42$
- The missing value must be between $-0.6$ and $-0.55$.
- Choices: $-58\% = -0.58$, $-0.65$, $-\frac{9}{10} = -0.9$
- $-0.65$ and $-0.9$ are less than $-0.6$, so they cannot fit.
- $-0.58$ fits between $-0.6$ and $-0.55$.
4. **List C:** Given: $600\%$, ____, $6 \frac{2}{3}$, $6.9$
- Convert all to decimals:
- $600\% = 6.00$
- $6 \frac{2}{3} = 6 + \frac{2}{3} = 6.6667$
- $6.9$ is decimal.
- The missing value must be between $6.00$ and $6.6667$.
- Choices: $60.2$, $\frac{19}{3} \approx 6.3333$, $6.95$
- $60.2$ and $6.95$ are greater than $6.6667$, so they cannot fit.
- $\frac{19}{3} \approx 6.3333$ fits between $6.00$ and $6.6667$.
**Final answers:**
- List A missing value: $\frac{1}{6}$
- List B missing value: $-58\%$
- List C missing value: $\frac{19}{3}$
