order?
[12, 48, 15, 8, 85, 2, 3, 1, 72, 26, 4]
Notes:
• Your answer should be a simple Python fraction (eg, 4/3) or single valid Python integer or
float (eg, 3 or 1.33333).
• If you write your answer as a float then you should round it to at least 5 decimal places, eg,
0.12345 or 0.1234567
• You can pre-check your answer but it will not normally be checked/marked until you finish
your quiz attempt.
• Your answer must pass the pre-check to get any marks.
• Therefore, you need to get it right first time.
