You have got to a starting point - you have three numbers. Good.

Where do you do go from here?

I would start with two of the numbers, and work out which one is higher.

Once you know that, you can compare that one with the third number, and work 
out which one is higher.

Then you can apply the same logic to work out which is the lowest.

Give that a go, and come back here if you get stuck.
