Final answer:

To order the numbers (0.7, 3/10, 0.05, 8%, 15/100) in ascending order, convert fractions and percentages to decimals: 0.7, 0.3, 0.05, 0.08, 0.15. Then sort them: 0.05, 0.08, 0.15, 0.3, 0.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To put the numbers 0.7, 3/10, 0.05, 8 percent, and 15 out of 100 in ascending order, we first need to convert all the numbers into the same format. We will convert fractions and percentages into decimal form to do this:

  • 0.7 is already in decimal form.
  • 3/10 as a decimal is 0.3.
  • 0.05 is already in decimal form.
  • 8 percent as a decimal is 0.08 (since 8% means 8 per 100 or 8/100).
  • 15 out of 100 as a decimal is 0.15 (since it represents the fraction 15/100).

Now, when we look at the decimals, we can easily compare them:

  1. 0.05
  2. 0.08 (8 percent)
  3. 0.15 (15 out of 100)
  4. 0.3 (3/10)
  5. 0.7

So the numbers in ascending order are 0.05, 8 percent (0.08), 15 out of 100 (0.15), 3/10 (0.3), and 0.7.
