Order the number sets too least to greatest.
11/20 , 1/2 , 0.51
A) 0.51, 11/20, 1/2
B) 1/2, 11/20, 0.51****
C) 1/2, 0.51, 11/20
D) 0.51, 1/2 , 11/20
To order the number sets from least to greatest, we compare the values of the numbers:
0.51 < 1/2 < 11/20
Therefore, the correct order is:
B) 1/2, 11/20, 0.51
To order the number sets from least to greatest, you can compare their values or convert them into a common format such as decimals or fractions with the same denominator.
In this case, let's convert the given numbers into decimals:
11/20 = 0.55 (dividing 11 by 20)
1/2 = 0.5 (dividing 1 by 2)
0.51 = 0.51
Now, we can see that the numbers in order from least to greatest are:
0.5, 0.51, and 0.55
Converting these decimals back to fractions, we get:
0.5 = 1/2
0.51 = 0.51 (already in decimal form)
0.55 = 11/20
So, the correct order is 1/2, 0.51, 11/20.
Based on the given options, the correct answer is B) 1/2, 0.51, 11/20.
