Question

Which of the following numbers is the smallest 0.008 or 1/3 or 0.048 or 0.36 or 1/9

Answer 1

The smallest number is 0.008

Explanation:

To find out which number is the smallest we convert the decimals to percentages

That's

0.008 × 100= 0.8%

1/3 × 100 = 33.3%

0.048 × 100 = 4.8%

0.36 × 100 = 36%

1/9 × 100 = 11.1%

Comparing from the above percentages the smallest one is 0.8% which is

0.008.

Hope this helps you.
