Question

Is 25% greater than, less than, or equal to 0.3?

Answer 1

Answer:  Less than

=========================================================

Explanation:

To convert from a percent to a decimal, move the decimal point over 2 spots to the left

25% = 25.0% converts to 0.25

Think of 0.3 as 0.30

Comparing 0.25 and 0.30, we see that 0.25 is smaller. This is because 25 is smaller than 30.

---------------------

Put another way:

0.3 = 0.30 = 30%

We can see that 25% is smaller than 30%

---------------------

Whichever method you prefer, 25% is smaller than 0.3
