Question

Order the numbers from least to greatest.

1 / 100, 1/4, and 0.2. ​

Answer 1

`(1)/(100)`, 0.2,
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

First, find the values of the fractions in decimals.

`(1)/(100)` = 0.01

`(1)/(4)` = 0.25

So we have the numbers: 0.01, 0.25 and 0.2. Thus we can easily arrange them in ascending order.

0.01, 0.2, 0.25

Which, according to the question, will be:

`(1)/(100)`, 0.2,
`(1)/(4)`

Answer 2

1/100 < 0.2 < 1/4

Explanation:

1/100 = 0.01

1/4 = 0.25

0.2 = 0.20

Arranging from least to greatest,

0.01 < 0.20 < 0.25

=> 1/100 < 0.2 < 1/4
