Exercise 2 Page 176

Decimals and percents are ways to show parts of a whole. We want to tell which number is greater. 0.49, 94 % To do this, we will write a decimal as a percent. To write a decimal as a percent, we move the decimal point two places to the right and add the percent symbol.

We found that 0.49 expressed as a percent is 49 %. Since 94 is greater than 49, 94 % is greater than 49 %. This means that 94 % is greater than 0.49.
