Question

Put 50%, 2/25, 5, and 0.31 in order from greatest to least

Answer 1

`5,50\%,0.31,(2)/(25)`

Explanation:

we have

50%, 2/25, 5, and 0.31

1) 50%

we know that

`50\%=(50)/(100)`

2) 2/25

Multiply by 4/4

`(4)/(4)((2)/(25))=(8)/(100)`

3) 5

Multiply by 100/100

`(100)/(100)(5)=(500)/(100)`

4) 0.31

Multiply by 100/100

`(100)/(100)(0.31)=(31)/(100)`

Now all numbers have the same denominator

so

`(500)/(100)> (50)/(100)>(31)/(100)>(8)/(100)`

therefore

`5 > 50\%>0.31>(2)/(25)`

`5,50\%,0.31,(2)/(25)`
