Question

What are these in order from smallest to biggest?
60%
0.4
1/2

Answer 1

Let's start with the percentage. if anything has a % at the end, it means that it's over one hundred. So really,
`60%=(60)/(100)=(6)/(10)`

Now we'll go to the
`0.4`. Anything to the first decimal place is over 10, so
`0.4=\frac{4}[10}`.

And lastly,
`(1)/(2)` is equal to
`(5)/(10)` if you multiply both the top and the bottom. So now we have three fractions:
`(6)/(10),(4)/(10),(5)/(10)` So in order from smallest to biggest:

`(4)/(10),(5)/(10),(6)/(10)`/ So that's equal to:

`0.4, (1)/(2), 60%`

Hopefully this helps!

Answer 2

0.4, 1/2, and then 60%
