We want to order the givennumbers from least to greatest. Let's start by looking at the given numbers.
15 %, 14.8, 15 45, 1450 %
Notice that the given numbers are written in different formats. In this case, our first step will be to rewrite all numbers as decimals.
Number
Rewrite as Decimal
15 %
15/100= 0.15
14.8
14.8
15 45
15.8
1450 %
1450/100= 14.5
Now we can compare the given numbers by plotting them on the number line.
Looking at the number line, we can see that the number farthest to the left is 0.15. This means that 15 % is the least number. We can also see that the number farthest to the right is 15.8, which means that the greatest number is 15 45. Let's use this information to order the numbers from least to greatest!
0.15, 14.5, 14.8, 15.8 [0.2em]
⇕ [0.2em]
15 %, 1450 %, 14.8, 15 45
