Is ½% greater than or less that one hundredth?

It is less than. This is because we know that 1% is also equal to 0.01

Meaning 0.5% is equal to 0.005 or 1/200

We also know that 1/100 is equal to 0.01

So... as the first one is smaller in value, it is less than.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

1/2 Is Greater

Explanation:

If you have HALF of 100 you have have 50. If you have 1/100 of 100 you have 1. Therefore, 50>1, so 1/2 is greater.
