data set includes the following numbers: nineteen over 4, two and one fifth, 85%, and 3.24.

Part A: What is the order of the numbers from least to greatest? Write your answer using the numbers in their original form. (2 points)

Part B: Did you use estimation or rewrite the numbers in equivalent forms? Please explain your answer. (10 points)

Answer 1

A: 85%, 2
`(1)/(5)`, 3.24,
`(19)/(4)`

B: covert numbers into percent

Explanation:

Part A

We have:

`(19)/(4)`, 2
`(1)/(5)`, 85%, 3.24 --> let's convert them into percentages like the 85, to determine which one is greatest/least:

85% --> 85% (already a percent)

`(19)/(4)` --> to convert into percent: (19÷4) x 100 = 475%

2
`(1)/(5)` --> convert first into improper fraction then into percent: (11/5) x 100 = 220%

3.24 --> multiply by 100: 3.24 x 100 = 324%

From least to greatest: 85%, 220%, 324%, 475%

= 85%, 2
`(1)/(5)`, 3.24,
`(19)/(4)`

Part B:

In part A, to determine the numbers from least to greatest, we rewrote the numbers all into percentage form by first converting into decimal form and then multiplying by 100.
