Question

Write the following in order of size smallest at the top

a . 9/17
b . 0.5209
c . 52.9%
d . 530/1000

Answer 1

To determine the order from smallest to largest, each number is converted to decimal form: 9/17 (approximately 0.5294), 0.5209, 52.9% (0.529), and 530/1000 (0.530), then they are arranged accordingly with 0.5209 being the smallest and 0.530 being the largest. The correct answer is option a . 9/17

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to write the following numbers in order of size, with the smallest at the top:

a. 9/17

b. 0.5209

c. 52.9%

d. 530/1000

Firstly, let's convert each of these to decimal form to compare them easily:

a. 9/17 = approximately 0.5294

b. 0.5209 (already in decimal form)

c. 52.9% = 0.529 (percent to decimal: divide by 100)

d. 530/1000 = 0.530 (simplify the fraction)

Now, we place them in order, from smallest to largest:

1. b. 0.5209
2. a. 9/17 (approximately 0.5294)
3. c. 52.9% (which is 0.529)
4. d. 530/1000 (which is 0.530)
