How would you order the following from least to greatest?
1/4, 0.2, 3/8, 30% Would it be
0.2, 1/4, 30% and 3/8?
This was my answer but it was marked wrong? Where did I go wrong?
Thanks for your help
I just convert everything to decimals.
1/4 = .25
.2 = .2
3/8 =.375
30% = .3
Answer:
.2 , 1/4 , 30% , 3/8
You are correct, I don't know what it was marked wrong..
Thank You
To order the given numbers from least to greatest, we need to compare them and determine their relative values.
Let's start by converting all the numbers to the same format.
1/4 = 0.25 (since dividing 1 by 4 equals 0.25)
0.2 = 20% (since 0.2 is the decimal equivalent of 20%)
3/8 = 0.375 (since dividing 3 by 8 equals 0.375)
30% = 0.3 (since 30% is the decimal equivalent of 0.3)
Now, let's arrange the numbers in ascending order:
0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.375
So, it seems your initial answer of 0.2, 1/4, 30%, and 3/8 was correct. If it was marked wrong, there might have been an error in the grading process. You may want to double-check with your instructor or try providing this explanation as evidence to get it corrected.
