Answer 1

The correct answer, when ordering the numbers from least to greatest, is 0.259, 1/3, 28%, 3/8, 1/2, and 35%. The answer that corresponds to this sequence is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the student's question, we need to put the given numbers in order from least to greatest. First, we need to convert all values into the same format. Let's convert percentages to decimals and fractions to decimals for easier comparison.

• 28% is 0.28
• 35% is 0.35
• 1/3 is approximately 0.333
• 3/8 is 0.375
• 0.259 remains the same
• 1/2 is 0.5

Now we can compare the decimals directly.

1. 0.259
2. 1/3 (approximately 0.333)
3. 28% (0.28)
4. 3/8 (0.375)
5. 1/2 (0.5)
6. 35% (0.35)

So, when we order the numbers from least to greatest, we get 0.259, 1/3, 28%, 3/8, 1/2, and 35%. The correct answer is Option B.
