Question

Write the following five interest rates in descending order (greatest to least): 5.51%, 5 1/2%, 5 5/8%, 5.099%, 5.6%

Answer 1

Answer:

5 5/8%, 5.6%, 5.51%, 5 1/2%, 5.099%

Step-by-step explanation:

5 5/8% reduces to 5.625…and 5.099% is the least because it isn’t even 5.1%…

So it goes—> 5.625%, 5.6%, 5.51%, 5 1/2% (5.50), and then 5.099%.

Answer 2

Answer:

5 5/8%, 5.6%, 5.51%,  5 1/2%, 5.099%.

Step-by-step explanation:

5.51%, 5 1/2%, 5 5/8%, 5.099%, 5.6%

If we convert all values to decimal fractions we have.

5.51%, 5.50%, 5.625%, 5.099% and 5.6%.

So the greatest is 5.625% and the least is 5.099%

the order is

5.625%, 5.6%, 5.51%,  5.50%, 5.099%.
