Question

Which shows the numbers Nine-tenths, 0.3, 0.8, Five-tenths, and Two-tenths in order from least to greatest?

Answer 1

`(2)/(10), 0.3, (5)/(10),0.8,(9)/(10)`

Explanation:

Given

`(9)/(10), 0.3, 0.8,(5)/(10), (2)/(10)`

Required

Order from the least

We have:

`(9)/(10), 0.3, 0.8,(5)/(10), (2)/(10)`

Express all as decimal

`0.9, 0.3, 0.8,0.50, 0.20`

Rearrange from least

`0.20, 0.3, 0.50,0.8,0.9`

Express converted numbers as fractions

`(2)/(10), 0.3, (5)/(10),0.8,(9)/(10)`
