Question

Which is Bigger?

a) 43% or 24/60
b) 18/30 or 0.51

By the way they are separate questions

Answer 1

a)

`43\%=(43)/(100) \\ \\ (24)/(60)=(4)/(10)=(40)/(100) \\ \\ 43>40 \Rightarrow (43)/(100) > (40)/(100) \Rightarrow 43\% > (24)/(60)`

43% is bigger.

b)

`(18)/(30)=(6)/(10)=(60)/(100) \\ \\ 0.51=(51)/(100) \\ \\ 60>51 \Rightarrow (60)/(100) > (51)/(100) \Rightarrow (18)/(30) >0.51`

18/30 is bigger.
