Answer:

c) I, III, IV, II

Explanation:

Values of l, ll, lll & lV respectively,

→ 58/67, 0.58%, 58%, 5.8%

→ 0.87, 0.0058, 0.58, 0.058

Arranging them in descending order,

→ 0.87 > 0.58 > 0.058 > 0.0058

→ 0.87, 0.58, 0.058, 0.0058

→ l, lll, lV, ll

Hence, the option (c) is correct.

Answer:

C) I, III, IV, II

Explanation:

Convert each number into a decimal:


\textsf{I.} \quad (58)/(67)=0.86567...


\textsf{II.} \quad 0.58\%=(0.58)/(100)=0.0058


\textsf{III.} \quad 58\%=(58)/(100)=0.58


\textsf{IV.} \quad 5.8\%=(5.8)/(100)=0.058

Comparing the tenths of all the numbers, 8 is the biggest tenth, so 58/67 is the largest number.

The next biggest tenth is 5, so 58% is the next largest number.

The two remaining numbers have zero tenths, so compare their hundredths. 5 is the largest hundredth, so 5.8% is the next largest number. Therefore, 0.58% is the smallest number.

Therefore, the given set of numbers in order from greatest to least is:

  • I, III, IV, II
