Question

Order from least to greatest.
2.5, 2/4 , 25%, 0.2

Answer 1

When you are solving something like this, you have to convert them to the same format. In other words, they must ALL be fraction, decimals, or percents. Decimals are the easiest.

Answer 2

2.5 is already done for you

Answer 3

and 0.5? thats first right

Answer 4

the 25% doesnt make any sense to me .....

Answer 5

0.2,2/4,2.5 or 25%

Answer 6

A fraction is simply a division equation, so you solve 2 divided by 4.

Answer 7

@amistre64 a percentage is just a decimal with a different sign. 25% is .25

Answer 8

.2 is also done for you

Answer 9

Now, you order them. (I think you can figure that part out) Here are the numbers to order.
2.5, 0.5, 0.25, and 0.2

Answer 10

Ok thanks! my first answer was B...

Answer 11

a percentage is not a decimal ....

25% of 32 is 8
25% of 16 is 4
25% of n = n*.25

25% is not "a decimal"

Answer 12

they want you to use it as a decimal in this problem i agree; but it still makes no sense

Answer 13

to make a decimal out of a percent, you don't have to calculate anything (that's what I was implying). Take 25% and all you have to do is add a decimal before the number and drop the percent sign. 25% ----> .25

Answer 14

the price is reduced by 25%; therefore if the price is $12, is it reduced by .25? and we buy it for $11.75

Answer 15

no, we would pay $9

Answer 16

then it is not reduced by 25% ... if 25% is just a decimal: .25

Answer 17

reduced by = minus
$12*25% or 0.25 = 3
subtract the $3 from the $12
$9

Answer 18

you see my point tho; how are we spose to say that 25% is least or greatest in this construction by stating that 25% is a decimal? it makes no sense in this question is all

Answer 19

I didn't say it "was a decimal", I said it "is just a decimal with a different sign" (implying that you don't need to further calculate it as you would for a fraction to a decimal)

Answer 20

25% is .25 because it's the original "25" with a decimal point instead of a percentage sign.

Answer 21

by the way, the answer is .2, .25, .5, 2.5

Answer 22

there is no "25%" on a number line :)

Answer 23

@meilendurcer i posted the answer above

Answer 24

true, but it is implied :P

Answer 25

25% on a number line would be 1/4 from the far left or it would be written as .25 as a decimal :P

Answer 26

@amistre64 I gave you a medal :)

Answer 27
