Answer 2

Answer:

d 80 cents or 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Change them all to money. Then look at it again.

0.5 = 50 cents

0.12 = 12 cents

0.17 = 17 cents

0.8 = 80 cents.

You get each of them by starting with a dollar. A dollar has 100 cents.

So 0.5 of a dollar is 1/2 a dollar.

1/2 a dollar is 0.5 * 100 = 50 cents

0.17 * 100 = 17 cents

0.12 * 100 = 12 cents

0.8 * 100 = 80 cents

The largest one is 8
