Question

Order from least to greatest 2.8%, 7/40, 1/50, 0.044

Answer 1

1/50 < 2.8% < 0.044 < 7/40

Explanation:

2.8%, 7/40, 1/50, 0.044

• 2.8% = 0.028 = 28/1000
• 7/40 = 0.175 = 175/1000
• 1/50 = 0.020 = 20/1000
• 0.044 = 44/1000

Ordering in ascending order

• 20/1000 < 28/1000 < 44/1000 < 175/1000

Same order in original numbers

• 1/50 < 2.8% < 0.044 < 7/40
