Question

Which list correctly puts the following numbers in descending order?

A. 12%, √5, 1 x 10^(-2), 3.
B. 12%, √5, 1 x 10^(-2), 7.
C. 12%, √5, 1 x 10^(-2), 3.
D. 12%, √5, 1 x 10^(-2), 15.

Answer 1

The correct order is: 3, √5, 1 x 10^(-2), 12% . None of the given options is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is the largest number.

√5 (approximately 2.236) is the second largest number.

12% (0.12) is the third largest number.

1 x 10^(-2) (0.01) is the smallest number.

Therefore, the list that correctly puts the numbers in descending order is:

3, √5, 1 x 10^(-2), 12%

None of the given options is answer.
