Algebra.Com's Answer #506133 by LinnW(1048)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! One way to work this is to represent each number as a decimal \n" ); document.write( "with the same number of decimal positions. Let's use 3 decimal positions \n" ); document.write( "So 2/3 50% 62.5% 0.6 6/8 become \n" ); document.write( "0.667 0.500 0.625 0.600 0.750 \n" ); document.write( "So \n" ); document.write( "2/3 = 0.667 approximately \n" ); document.write( "50% = 0.500 \n" ); document.write( "62.5% = 0.625 \n" ); document.write( "0.6 = 0.600 \n" ); document.write( "6/8 = 0.750 \n" ); document.write( "So in order of lowest to highest we have \n" ); document.write( "50% = 0.500 \n" ); document.write( "0.6 = 0.600 \n" ); document.write( "62.5% = 0.625 \n" ); document.write( "2/3 = 0.667 \n" ); document.write( "6/8 = 0.750 \n" ); document.write( "Please let me know if this is clear. \n" ); document.write( " |
