Here are the selections
A. 0.51, 11/20, 1/2
B. 1/2, 0.51, 11/20
C. 1/2, 11/20, 0.51
D. 0.51,1/2, 11/20
Thanks to anybody that helps me BTW I think it D :)
If you make all of them fractions with 100 as the denominator, then they are
55/100, 50/100, 51/100
so, what do you think?
11/20 = 0.55.
1/2 = 0.50.
0.51 = 0.51.
To order the set of numbers from least to greatest, you can convert the fractions to decimals and compare them.
Converting the fractions to decimals:
11/20 = 0.55
1/2 = 0.5
Now let's compare the numbers:
0.51 < 0.5 < 0.55
Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is:
A. 0.51, 11/20, 1/2
To order the set of numbers from least to greatest, you need to compare the values of each number. Here's how you can do it:
1. Start by comparing 0.51 and 11/20. Since 11/20 is equivalent to 0.55, 0.51 is smaller than 11/20. Therefore, we can eliminate options A and C because they have 0.51 listed as the first number.
2. Next, compare 0.51 and 1/2. Converting 1/2 to a decimal gives us 0.50. Since 0.51 is larger than 0.50, we can eliminate option B as well.
3. So the only option left is D, which lists the numbers in the following order: 0.51, 1/2, 11/20.
Therefore, your answer is D) 0.51, 1/2, 11/20.
