Chapter 7.2, Problem 37PPS

To determine

To calculate:To set the numbers in orders from least to greatest

Answer to Problem 37PPS

Order from Least to Greatest

  $\frac{5}{22}<2.2<227\%$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: $2.2,227\%,\frac{5}{22}$

Calculation:

Using the given inputs

  $2.2,227\%,\frac{5}{22}$

We have to rewrite these inputs as decimals:

To convert in decimal, we have to divide by $100$

  $2.2$

(as it is already in decimal form)

  $227\%=\frac{227}{100}=2.27$

and

  $\frac{5}{22}=\frac{\frac{5}{22}}{100}=0.2272$

Sorting the above said digits by decimal values in order from least to greatest:

  $0.2272<2.2<2.27$

  $\therefore$ the listed order from least to greatest is

  $\frac{5}{22}<2.2<227\%$
