Question

What is the order of 75%, 1/3, 3/8, and 0.625 from least to greatest? Also, please please explain how to do it...I’m having trouble. Thanks!

Answer 1

3/8 , 1/3 , 75% , 0.625

Answer 2

To arrange the given numbers from least to greatest we convert the numbers to decimal form.

75% =0.75

(Percent means out of 100.The decimal is shifted two places left to convert percent to decimal)

`(1)/(3) =0.33`

`(3)/(8)=0.375`

0.625

The decimals from least to greatest are:

0.33,0.375,0.625,0.75.

The numbers arranged from least to greatest are:

`(1)/(3),(3)/(8),0.625,75%`
