Question

2.) How would you decide whether 3/5 or 59% is greater? Explain.

3.) Which one does not belong with the other three? Explain your reasoning.

40% , 2/5
0.4 , 0.04

Answer 1

2)
well if you divide 3 by 5 it would equal .60 or .6 ( 3/5= .6) then you would multiply it by ten which would equal 60. (.60*10=60) then add a percent sign 60% so 60%>59% or 60% is greater than 59%
3)
lets change every thing to a decimal. 40% would turn into .4 2/5 would turn into .4 and then there is .4 then there is .04. .04 is not like the other three because it is 4 hundredths and the rest are 4 tenths.
hope this helps
