Plot the numbers on a number line.
84 % , 43/50 , 7/8 , 0.91
We want to order the given numbers from least to greatest. 43/50, 0.91, 7/8, 84 % To do this, we will rewrite every number as a decimal number. At first, let's rewrite the percent. To do this, we ignore the percent symbol and move the decimal point two places to the left. Let's do it!
Now, we know that 4350 as a decimal number is 0.86. Let's continue with 78.
a/b=a * 12.5/b * 12.5
Multiply
Write as a decimal
Decimal form of 78 is 0.875. Let's take a look back at our set of numbers. 43/50, 0.91, 7/8, 84 % ⇕ 0.86, 0.91, 0.875, 0.84 Now, we can write the given numbers in order from least to greatest by plotting them on a number line.
The number that is the farthest to the left is 84 %, so it is the least from the list. The farthest to the right is 0.91, so it is the greatest.
Finally, we can write the values in order from least to greatest by moving from left to right on the number line. Let's do this! 84 % , 43/50 , 7/8 , 0.91
