COMPARING FRACTIONS DECIMALS AND PERCENTAGES

Order this list from smallest to largest.

Problem 1 :

0.3, 15%, 2, 1/2

Solution :

15% = 15/100 = 0.15

1/2 = 0.5

0.3, 0.15, 2, 0.5

So, the number smallest to largest is 0.15 < 0.3 < 0.5 < 2.

Order this list from smallest to largest.

Problem 2 :

3/4, 3, 0.4, 5%

Solution :

3/4 = 0.75

5% = 0.05

0.75, 3, 0.4, 0.05

So, the number smallest to largest is  0.05 < 0.4 < 0.75 < 3.

Order this list from smallest to largest.

Problem 3 :

0.14, 4%, 0.48, 1/5

Solution :

4% = 0.04

1/5 = 0.2

0.14, 0.04, 0.48, 0.2

So, the number smallest to largest is 0.04 < 0.14 < 0.2 < 0.48.

Order this list from smallest to largest.

Problem 4 :

0.46, 3%, 1/4, 0.14

Solution :

3% = 0.03

1/4 = 0.25

0.46, 0.03, 0.25, 0.14

So, the number smallest to largest is 0.03 < 0.14 < 0.25 < 0.46.

Order this list from smallest to largest.

Problem 5 :

6/5, 58.9%, 1.77, 0.169

Solution :

6/5 = 1.2

58.9% = 0.589

1.2, 0.589, 1.77, 0.169

So, the number smallest to largest is 0.169 < 0.589 < 1.2 < 1.77.
