Question

Which of the following shows the correct order of the numbers below?

Answer 1

Answer: a.$(\frac{1}{2})^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers: $(\frac{1}{2})^2,\frac{2}{3},0.45$

Simplify them in like decimals .

$(\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

$\frac{2}{3}=0.6666\approx0.66$

Clearly we can see $0.25$ which is equivalent to

$(\frac{1}{2})^2$

Therefore the correct order of the numbers is $(\frac{1}{2})^2$
