Complete question :
Trevor plans on buying a car. Four banks offer the annual interest rates shown.
Which list shows these interest rates in order from greatest to least
3 1/10%, 3 2/5%, 3 1/4%, 3 1/3%
Answer:
3 2/5% ; 3 1/3% ; 3 1/4% ; 3 1/10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Arrange the given interest rates in order ; greatest to least :
To make comparison easier, we can convert the fractional values to decimal ;
3 1/10%, 3 2/5%, 3 1/4%, 3 1/3%
3 1/10% = 3 + (1/10 = 0.1) = 3 + 0.1 = 3.1%
3 2/5%, = 3 + (2/5 = 0.4) = 3 + 0.4 = 3.4%
3 1/4%, = 3 + (1/4 = 0.25) = 3 + 0.25 = 3.25%
3 1/3% = 3 + (1/3 = 0.333) = 3 + 0.333 = 3.33%
Hence, arranging in descending order (greatest to least) :
3 2/5% > 3 1/3% > 3 1/4% > 3 1/10%
3 2/5% ; 3 1/3% ; 3 1/4% ; 3 1/10%
