Chapter 7.2, Problem 38PPS

To determine

To calculate:To set numbers in order from least to greatest

Answer to Problem 38PPS

Order from Least to Greatest

  $0.23<\frac{4}{15}<28\%$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: $0.23,28\%,\frac{4}{15}$

Calculation:

Using the given inputs

  $0.23,28\%,\frac{4}{15}$

We have to rewrite these inputs as decimals:

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

  $0.23$

(as it is already in decimal form)

  $28\%=\frac{28}{100}=0.28$

and

  $\frac{4}{15}=\frac{\frac{4}{15}}{100}=0.2666$

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

  $0.23<0.2666<0.28$

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

  $0.23<\frac{4}{15}<28\%$
