Question

Which of the following represents the least amount among the given values?

A) 14%
B) 0.122
C) 0.082
D) 3/2

Answer 1

Upon conversion to decimals, the comparison shows that 0.082 is the smallest value, so C) 0.082 is the answer representing the least amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which of the given options represents the least amount, we need to compare the mathematical values:

• A) 14% = 0.14 when converted to a decimal for comparison.
• B) 0.122 is already in decimal form.
• C) 0.082 is also already in decimal form.
• D) 3/2 = 1.5 when converted to a decimal.

Comparing these values, 0.082 (Option C) is the smallest. Hence, the correct answer to the question 'Which of the following represents the least amount among the given values?' is C) 0.082.
