If you express all the values so that they all have a common dimension, you will realise that 0.5 is greater.
For example, we can say:
3 out of 9 in percentage equals (3/9)*100%=33.333333333333333333%
0.5 in percentage equals 0.5*100%=50%
40% remains the same and
similarly, 2/8 equals 25%.
Therefore, 0.5 is greater than the other three
