STEP 1

Assumptions1. The numbers provided are $31.4\%$, $-9.7$, and $-\frac{7}{8}$.
. We need to order these numbers from least to greatest.

STEP 2

First, let's convert all numbers to the same format to make comparison easier. We'll convert the percentage to a decimal and the fraction to a decimal as well.
$$31.4\% =0.314$$$$-\frac{7}{8} = -0.875$$So, our numbers are now $0.314$, $-9.7$, and $-0.875$.

STEP 3

Now, we can compare these numbers. Remember that any negative number is less than any positive number. Therefore, $-9.7$ is the smallest number.

STEP 4

Next, we compare $0.314$ and $-0.875$. Since $-0.875$ is negative, it is less than $0.314$.

Therefore, the numbers in order from least to greatest are $-9.7$, $-0.875$, and $0.314$.
So, referring back to the original symbols, the order is $2$, $3$, $1$.
