Question

How do you order the following from least to greatest: `0.7, 65%, 9/16, 6.1, 31/50`?

Answer 1

The order from least to greatest is `{9/16,31/50,65%,0.7,6.1}`

Explanation:

Easiest way is to convert all numbers in decimal say up to `4` or `5` places of decimal.

Hence `0.7=0.7000`

`65%=0.65=0.6500`

`9/16=0.5625`

`6.1=6.0000` and

`31/50=0.6200`

and it becomes easy to compare them now and the order from least to greatest is `{9/16,31/50,65%,0.7,6.1}`
