Phil:
Convert to fractions and write in order of size:
9 % = 9/100, 1/9 = 11/99, 0.9 = 90/100.

Adrian T, Loughborough LE11:
Use a common denominator, for example 900 (the lowest):
1/9 = 100/900, 0.9 = 9/10 = 810/900, 9 % = 9/100 = 81/900.
Clearly 81/900 < 100/900 < 810 < 900, so
9 % < 1/9 < 0.9.

Julie W, Lincoln, LN6,
Kevin A, Crawley RH10:
1/9 = 0.111..., 0.9 = 0.9, 9 % = 0.09.
Therefore order is 9 %, 1/9, 0.9.

Martin F, Manchester M21:
9 % = 9 %
1/9 = roughly 11 % (100 divided by 9)
0.9 = 90% (100 multiplied by 0.9).

Jane N, Seaham SR7:
0.9 = 90 %
1/9 > 1/10 = 10 % > 9 %.
Therefore 9 % < 1/9 < 0.9.
