Question

To get to school, 19/50 of the students ride in the family vehicle, 5 out of 12 students ride on the school bus, and 0.12 of the students ride a bike. Order the types of transportation students use to get to school from least to greatest.

Answer 1

0.12, 19/50, 5 out of 12

0.12 (least). 19/50 (second least), and 5 out of 12 (greatest)

Explanation:

If you convert them all to decimals by dividing it will be much easier to solve.

19/50 = 0.38

5 out of 12 is 5/12 = 0.41

0.12 = 0.12

Fractions mean division.
