There ya go.


3%
2/50
0.08

Answer 2

3% < 2/50 < 0.08

Explanation:

A City's population Rose 3% one year, 0.08 the next year, and by 2/50 the next year.

We will convert all the values in a common unit for comparison.

`0.08*100` = 8%

`2/50 = 0.04` and
`0.04*100` = 4%

Now, we can compare all and arrange in order from least to greatest.

3% < 4% < 8%

3% < 2/50 < 0.08
