Question

Put 50%, 2/25, 5, and 0.31 in order from greatest to least

Answer 1

Answer:

$5,50\%,0.31,\frac{2}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

50%, 2/25, 5, and 0.31

1) 50%

we know that

$50\%=\frac{50}{100}$

2) 2/25

Multiply by 4/4

$\frac{4}{4}(\frac{2}{25})=\frac{8}{100}$

3) 5

Multiply by 100/100

$\frac{100}{100}(5)=\frac{500}{100}$

4) 0.31

Multiply by 100/100

$\frac{100}{100}(0.31)=\frac{31}{100}$

Now all numbers have the same denominator

so

$\frac{500}{100}> \frac{50}{100}>\frac{31}{100}>\frac{8}{100}$

therefore

$5 > 50\%>0.31>\frac{2}{25}$

$5,50\%,0.31,\frac{2}{25}$
