can you please help me order 0.8,7/8,81%,and 19/25
from least to greatest?
The easiest way is probably changing each to a decimal.
7/8 = 0.875
81% = 0.81
19/25 = ? Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Convert all to decimals, and you should see it just fine.
0.8 = 0.80
7/8 = ?
81% = 0.81
19/25 = ?
thank you ms. sue and writeacher!
You're welcome.
Of course, I can help you with that! To order the given numbers from least to greatest, we need to compare them and arrange them in ascending order. Let's go step by step:
First, let's convert all the numbers into a common form, such as decimals or fractions. This will make it easier to compare and order them.
1. Starting with the given numbers:
- 0.8
- 7/8
- 81%
- 19/25
2. Converting 81% to a decimal:
To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide it by 100. So, 81% becomes 0.81.
Now we have:
- 0.8
- 7/8
- 0.81
- 19/25
3. Comparing the decimals and fractions:
Let's compare the numbers one by one. First, compare 0.8 and 7/8. It is easier to compare decimals, so let's convert 7/8 to a decimal. To do that, divide 7 by 8, which gives 0.875.
Now we have:
- 0.8
- 0.875
- 0.81
- 19/25
Next, compare 0.875 and 0.81. We can see that 0.81 is smaller than 0.875.
Now we have:
- 0.8
- 0.81
- 0.875
- 19/25
Lastly, we need to compare the fraction, 19/25, with the decimals. To compare fractions, we can either convert them to decimals or find a common denominator. In this case, let's convert 19/25 to a decimal. Divide 19 by 25, which gives 0.76.
Now we have:
- 0.8
- 0.81
- 0.875
- 0.76
4. Ordering from least to greatest:
Now that we have converted all the numbers to decimals, we can easily order them from least to greatest:
- 0.76
- 0.8
- 0.81
- 0.875
Therefore, the ordered list from least to greatest is:
0.76, 0.8, 0.81, 0.875
