Question

thursday afternoon betwwen 4 and 5 oclock you spend 1/4 of the hour reading an email 0.4 hour doing homework 35% of the hour doing chores. write the tasks from least to greatest

Answer 1

Let's convert the fraction and percentage to a decimal and then compare the three decimals because I find that easiest.

To convert a fraction to a decimal, simply divide the numerator by the denominator:

1 ÷ 4 = 0.25

1/4 = 0.25 as a decimal

Since percentages are always out of 100, it is very easy to convert convert them to a decimal:

35% ÷ 100 = 0.35

35% = 0.35 as a decimal.

From least to greatest:

0.25, 0.35, 0.4

Tasks in order from least to greatest:

Doing homework, doing chores, reading email.

Hopefully this helped!
