Question

4 Write the following numbers in order from greatest to least. Student Distance Walked to School Christian 0.49 of a mile Athena 78% of a mile Lakyn of a mile Alexis of a mile Christian. Athera. Lokyn, Alexis O Athera, Christian, Alexis, Lokyn Athera. Christian. Lokyn. Alexis a Lokyn. Alexis, Christian, Athera

Answer 1

We have 4 numbers and we have to sort them from greatest to least.

`\begin{gathered} 0.49 \\ 78\%=0.78 \\ (3)/(7)=0.\bar{428571}\text{ (periodic)} \\ (7)/(15)=0.4\bar{6} \end{gathered}`

If we ordered them we have: 0.78, 0.49, 0.46..., 0.428471...

This corresponds to Athena, Christian, Alexis, Lokyn.

Other way to solve it would have been to look for the common denominator for all this numbers, and then compare the numerators.
