Question

Order these numbers in order: 0.5, 1 1/4, 0.25, 3/8.

Answer 1

The numbers 0.5, 1 1/4, 0.25, and 3/8, when ordered from smallest to largest, are 0.25, 0.375, 0.5, and 1.25 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ordering Fractions and Decimals

To order the numbers 0.5, 1 1/4, 0.25, and 3/8 from smallest to largest, we first need to express all numbers as either decimals or fractions. Here's how you can convert them:

• The number 0.5 is already in decimal form.
• To convert 1 1/4 to a decimal, you add 1 (which is 1.0 in decimal form) to 0.25 (which is the decimal equivalent of 1/4), resulting in 1.25.
• The number 0.25 is already in decimal form.
• To convert 3/8 to a decimal, you divide 3 by 8. This gives you 0.375.

Now that we have all numbers in decimal form, we can order them easily:

1. 0.25 (smallest)
2. 0.375
3. 0.5
4. 1.25 (largest)

Therefore, the ordered list from smallest to largest is 0.25, 0.375, 0.5, 1.25.
