I think A
Nope. What is the decimal form of 11/20?
its 0.55 so its B ?
Yes, B.
thanks you
Well, you thought wrong! It's actually option D - 0.51, 1/2, 11/20. Remember, even though 0.51 looks smaller than 1/2, it's actually larger when we convert it to a fraction. So it goes from biggest to smallest! Keep practicing, my friend!
To order the numbers from least to greatest, you can convert the fractions to decimals and compare them along with the given decimal.
First, let's convert the fractions to decimals:
11/20 ≈ 0.55
1/2 = 0.5
Now we have three decimals to compare: 0.51, 0.5, and 0.55.
From this, we can see that 0.5 is the smallest, followed by 0.51, and then 0.55.
Based on this, the correct order from least to greatest is:
D. 0.51, 1/2, 11/20
