Question

Which of the following orders 75%, 1/6, 3/8, and 0.625 from least to greatest?

A. 0.625, 1/6, 3/8, 75%
B. 1/6, 3/8, 0.625, 75%
C. 75%, 0.625, 3/8, 1/6
D. 3/8, 1/6, 0.625, 75%

Answer 1

To order the values from least to greatest, we first convert all numbers to decimals: 1/6 to 0.167, 3/8 to 0.375, and 75% to 0.75, with 0.625 already in decimal form. The values in ascending order are 1/6, 3/8, 0.625, and 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To order the numbers 75%, 1/6, 3/8, and 0.625 from least to greatest, we need to compare them in the same form. To do this, we can convert all the numbers to decimals or fractions.

• 75% is equivalent to 0.75 in decimal form.
• 1/6 is approximately 0.167 in decimal form.
• 3/8 is 0.375 in decimal form.
• 0.625 remains the same as it is already in decimal form.

Now that all numbers are in decimal form, we can clearly see the order from least to greatest:

1. 1/6 (0.167)
2. 3/8 (0.375)
3. 0.625
4. 75% (0.75)

Thus, the correct order from least to greatest is 1/6, 3/8, 0.625, 75%.
