Well, as far as I can tell, the mean (average) is the best representation of the data because there is no outlier (a number a lot higher or lower than the rest of the numbers that throws the data off).
I think it's -35. The steps to get that number is subtracting the 3 to the right side. Then you have -2 - 3 which equals to -5. Then you still have x/7= -5. Get rid of 7 from the x and do the same thing to the other side but you multiply 7 and -5. Last you your would be x= -35.
Converting everything to decimals:
0.25 inch, 0.5 inch, 0.4 inch
Ordering:
0.25, 0.4, 0.5
Converting the appropriate numbers back to fractions:
1/4,10/25,0.5.
