move the correct answer to each box
$12\frac{5}{8}$ 12.45 12.7 $12\frac{1}{3}$
least $\longrightarrow$ greatest

Explanation:

Step1: Convert fractions to decimals

$12\frac{1}{3} = 12 + \frac{1}{3} \approx 12.333$; $12\frac{5}{8} = 12 + \frac{5}{8} = 12.625$

Step2: Compare decimal values

$12.333 < 12.45 < 12.625 < 12.7$

Step3: Map back to original values

Match decimals to original weight expressions

Answer:

$12\frac{1}{3}$, $12.45$, $12\frac{5}{8}$, $12.7$
