Question

Note: Enter your answer and show all the steps that you use to solve this problem in the space provided. Order the numbers 0.64, 2/3, 65%, and 7/10 from least to greatest.

Answer 1

You have to order the given values from least to greatest.

$0.64;\frac{2}{3};65\text{percent;}\frac{7}{10}$

The first step is to express all values as decimal values, this way you find it easier to order them.

To express two thirds as a decimal value, you have to divide 2 by 3

$\frac{2}{3}=0.67$

To express a percentage as a decimal value you have to divide the percentage by 100

$\frac{65}{100}=0.65$

To express seven-tenths as a decimal value, you can divide 7 by 10

$0.70$

So the values expressed as decimal values are:

$0.64;0.67;0.65,0.70$

To order them from least to greatest you have to look at the decimals, the closer the value is to 1 the greater it will be, and the values closer to zero will be the smallest.

$0.64<0.65<0.67<0.70$
