Which set of numbers is arranged from the smallest to the largest?
\(B\)
\(-7\text{ is less than}\ -6\)
\(80\text{%} = \dfrac{4}{5}\ \text{which is less than}\ \dfrac{5}{3}\)
\(\therefore\ \text{Smallest to largest is }\rightarrow -7\ ,\ -6\ ,\ 80\text{%}\ ,\ \dfrac{5}{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow B\)
Which set of numbers is arranged from the smallest to the largest?
\(A\)
\(-3\text{ is less than}\ -2\)
\(25\text{%} = \dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{which is less than}\ \dfrac{5}{4}\)
\(\therefore\ \text{Smallest to largest is }\rightarrow -3\ ,\ -2\ ,\ 25\text{%}\ ,\ \dfrac{5}{4}\)
\(\Rightarrow A\)
Which of the following lists the numbers in decreasing order?
\(B\)
\(\text{Convert to decimals:}\)
\(35\text{%} = \dfrac{35}{100}= 0.35\)
\(\dfrac{3}{8} = 0.375\)
\(\therefore\ \text{descending (decreasing) order is } \rightarrow\dfrac{3}{8}\ ,\ 35\text{%}\ ,\ 0.32\ ,\ 0.3\)
\(\Rightarrow B\)
Which of the following lists the numbers in increasing order?
\(A\)
\(\text{Convert to decimals:}\)
\(65\text{%} = \dfrac{65}{100}= 0.65\)
\(\dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{75}{100}=0.75\)
\(\therefore\ \text{ascending (increasing) order is } \rightarrow\ 65\text{%}\ ,\ 0.7\ ,\ 0.72\ ,\ \dfrac{3}{4}\)
\(\Rightarrow A\)
