How do you order these from smallest to largest: #sqrt(9/25), 2/3, 62% and .66#?
1 Answer
Convert all values into a form that you can manage with. Order accordingly.
Explanation:
The easiest way to do this is to evaluate them into a form that is easy to manage. In my opinion, I believe decimals are easy to work with, so we're going to convert all these values into decimals.
The first one:
To do this, we just simplify the fraction.
#(sqrt9/25)#
#=3/5#
I'm actually going to convert this into tenths but it's not necessary.
#=6/10#
#=0.6#
The second one:
We know that
The third one:
Percents are just essentially a decimal itself, where
The last one:
It's already a decimal so no need to do anything.
With all decimal values:
We can easily order them from smallest to largest.
Thus, we get:
