OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Drop the percent sign, and move the decimal to the left 2 places.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.014

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait no, 0.14

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yep, .14, what is 1/8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhhhhhhh :(

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

put it into a calculator :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know how to make 1/8 and 14% into decimals?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not 1/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/8 is a division problem, so you are dividing 1 by 8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all fractions are just dividing the top number by the bottom number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope other way around

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

1/8 is the same as .25/2, which equals .125

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

If the numerator is less than the denominator, you are going to end up with a decimal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so we have 0.125, 0.14, 0.03, 0065

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yep, so which is the least?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.065?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Not quite, .065 is slightly larger than .03

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay, so 0.03 is the smallest?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yep, and I pretty much gave you that .065 was next. So which is smaller, .125 or .14?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi, this one is my new account sorry I accidenatlly forgot my password

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
