Question

Which one is greater 2.62 , 2 2/5 , 26.8 , 2.26 , 271%.

Answer 1

26.8

Step-by-step explanation:

2.26 < 2.4 < 2.62 < 271/100 = 2.71 < 26.8

Answer 2

In order to compare the numbers, let's put all of them into the decimal form:

`\begin{gathered} 2.62 \\ \\ 2(2)/(5)=2+(2)/(5)=(10)/(5)+(2)/(5)=(12)/(5)=2.4 \\ \\ 26.8 \\ \\ 2.26 \\ \\ 271\text{\%}=(271)/(100)=2.71 \end{gathered}`

We can see that the greater one is 26.8 (all other numbers are close to 2, and this one is close to 27).

The numbers in decrescent order are:

26.8, 271%, 2.62, 2 2/5, 2.26.
