Identify the ascending numerical order of the decimals and fractions. Keep the original format for each item:
1 1/9, 1 1/6, 1 3/12, 0.01, 0.062
responses:
A 14/12, 31/500, 7/6, 10/9, 0.002
B 0.062, 1 3/12, 0.01, 1 1/6, 1 1/9
C 1 3/12, 1 1/9, 1 1/6, 0.062, 0.01
D 0.01, 0.062, 1 1/9, 1 1/6, 1 3/12
Let's convert each mixed number and fraction to a decimal to easily compare them all:
1 1/9 = 1 + (1/9) = 1.111...
1 1/6 = 1 + (1/6) = 1.166...
1 3/12 = 1 + (3/12) = 1.25
0.01 = 0.01 (already a decimal)
0.062 = 0.062 (already a decimal)
Now we can see the order more clearly:
0.01, 0.062, 1.111..., 1.166..., 1.25
Retaining their original formats:
0.01, 0.062, 1 1/9, 1 1/6, 1 3/12
The ascending numerical order is:
D 0.01, 0.062, 1 1/9, 1 1/6, 1 3/12
