Order from least to greatest

Question

100% 1/100 0.001% 1/10 0.001 1.1 10 and10.000/100

Answer 1

Hi Mary.

The "trick" to this is to convert all of those numbers to decimal point numbers, order the decimal point numbers, the replace all of the decimal point numbers with the original format, in the correct order.

 

So...  to turn a fraction into a decimal, divide the top number  by the bottom number.  To convert a percent to a decimal, just move the decimal point two places to the left (you may have to supply some 0's to "hold" the empty places.

 

100% = 1.00     *

1/100 = 0.01      *

.001% = .00001  *

1/10 = 0.1           *

.001 = 0.001       *

10 = 10.000

10,000/100 = 100

 

10.0000/1000  =  depends:  did you mean 10.000/100?  or did you mean 10,000/100?

 

If you meant 10.000/100 = 0.1  (which you already have)

If you meant 10,000/100 = 100 (which you do not already have in the previous entries - I will assume this one and add it to the list above.

 

 

Now, put them in order from least to greatest:

 

0.00001 is the least (0.001%)

0.001 (started as 0.001)

0.01 (started as 1/100)

0.1 (started as 1/10)

1.00  (started as 100%)

10.0  (started as 10)

100.0   is the largest (10,000/100)

 

So your answer would be:

 

0.001%,  0.001,  1/100,  1/10,  100%,  10,  10,000/100

 

Hope that helped!  :-)
