Math Problem Statement

write the values below in ascending order 0.2,11/50,5%

Solution

To write the values 0.20.2, 1150\frac{11}{50}, and 5%5\% in ascending order, let's first convert them all to the same format, such as decimals.

  1. 0.20.2 is already a decimal.
  2. 1150\frac{11}{50} can be converted to a decimal: 1150=11×250×2=22100=0.22\frac{11}{50} = \frac{11 \times 2}{50 \times 2} = \frac{22}{100} = 0.22
  3. 5%5\% as a decimal is: 5%=5100=0.055\% = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05

Now, we have the three values in decimal form:

  • 0.20.2
  • 0.220.22
  • 0.050.05

In ascending order, these values are: 0.05,0.2,0.220.05, 0.2, 0.22

So, the values in ascending order are:

5%,0.2,11505\%, 0.2, \frac{11}{50}
