Answer 2

D and E

Explanation:

You are told to covert all of the values to decimals.

First, convert 12/16 to a decimal. You must do 12÷16, which is 0.75.

Now, do this for all of the options:

A) 12.16 is already in decimal form. This is far greater than 0.75.

B) 12.16% : to get from a percent to a decimal, divide it by 100.

12.16 ÷ 100 = 0.1216, which is smaller than 0.75.

C) 3/4 : divide 3÷4=0.75. This is equivalent to 12/16, so you don't select it.

D) 33 1/3 % : again, divide by 100.

33 1/3 ÷ 100 = 0.333333, which is smaller than 0.75

E) 0.5 is smaller than 0.75.
