Question

Write these values in order,starting with the smallest.72%,0.6,21/25,0.75,1/2

Answer 1

1/2, 0.6, 72%, 0.75, 21/25

Answer 2

The required order is: 1/2, 0.6, 72%, 0.75, 21/25

Explanation:

Consider the provided numbers.

We need to write these values in order, starting with the smallest.

Convert all the numbers in decimal form as shown.

`72\%=(72)/(100)=0.72`

`(21)/(25)=0.84`

`(1)/(2)=0.5`

Now the numbers are 0.72, 0.6, 0.84, 0.75 and 0.5

Among the numbers 0.84 is the largest number and 0.5 is the smallest number.

The order of the numbers from smallest to largest is:

0.5, 0.6, 0.72, 0.75, 0.84

Thus, the required order is: 1/2, 0.6, 72%, 0.75, 21/25
