which number is greater: 37/50 or 37%

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

we can convert both to decimal form

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

for 37/50 you just divide as shown and that's the decimal.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

for 37% you move the decimal two places to the left. 37% can be seen as 37.0

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Although it should be kind of easy to identyify because the fraction has a denominator of 50. just double both numerator and denominator

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

having a denom. of 100 is the scale percentages use

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

so if we had 50/100 that would be 50%

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

lemme see if we can condense @♪Chibiterasu 's line \(\bf \cfrac{37}{50}\qquad 37\%\implies \cfrac{37}{50}\qquad\cfrac{37}{100}\) so, which is greater? you tell us

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Yeah basically that. The denominators should make it obvious.
