Question

Tell what whole number you can substitute for xx in the following list so the numbers are ordered from least to greatest. 1/x,x/3,80%

Answer 1

Answer:

Take x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The numbers are $\frac{1}{x},\frac{x}{3},0.8$.

We need to find the value of x such that they are ordered from the least to the greatest.

Let us take, x = 2.

So, we get,

$\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$

$\frac{x}{3}=\frac{2}{3}=0.6$

As, 0.5 < 0.6 < 0.8.

Thus, taking x = 2 gives the desired result.

Answer 2

X/3 has to be smaller tha 80%
so x can be 2 since 2/3=66% about
1/2 is less thn 2/3

answer is x is 2
