Question

Write these numbers in order of size smallest first 65 percent 3/4 0.72 2/3 3/5

Answer 1

To order the numbers 65%, 3/4, 0.72, 2/3, and 3/5 from smallest to largest, convert them all to decimals: 0.60, 0.67, 0.65, 0.72, and 0.75 respectively. The numbers in ascending order are 3/5, 2/3, 65 percent, 0.72, and 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the numbers 65 percent, 3/4, 0.72, 2/3, and 3/5 in order of size with the smallest first, we must first convert all the numbers to the same format. The easiest way is to convert them all to decimals. Here is how they convert:

• 65 percent = 0.65
• 3/4 = 0.75
• 0.72 (already a decimal)
• 2/3 ≈ 0.67 (to two decimal places)
• 3/5 = 0.60

Now, these decimals can be easily compared:

1. 3/5 = 0.60
2. 2/3 ≈ 0.67
3. 65 percent = 0.65
4. 0.72
5. 3/4 = 0.75

The order from smallest to largest is 3/5, 2/3, 65 percent, 0.72, and 3/4.
