Question

Which of the following lists is in order from smallest to largest? 5/8, 0.6, 6.2%, 2/3, 2/3, 5/8, 0.6, 6.2% 6.2%, 0.6, 5/8, 2/3, 0.6, 6.2%, 5/8, 2/3

Answer 1

6.2%, 0.6, 5/8, 2/3

Explanation:

For some reason, you have written the same numbers over and over. It looks like there are only really 4 numbers.

I changed each number into a decimal and then compared them.

6.2% to change a percent to a decimal, move the decimal 2 places to the left so 6.2% equals 0.062.

0.6 is already in decimal form

5/8 you divide 5 by 8. Put in your calculator 5 the division symbol and then 8 to get 0.625.

2/3 is 0.6 repeating or 0.66666 forever.

Now compare:

62% = 0.62

0.6

5/8 = 0.625

2/3 = 0.66666...
