Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The decimal equivalents are approximately ...

  24.4% = 0.244

  24.2% = 0.242

  3/8 ≈ 0.38

  49/4 = 12.25

  √127 ≈ 11.27

  49/9 ≈ 5.44

Based on the decimal values, we can sort these as follows:

  12.25 > 11.27 > 5.44 > 0.38 > 0.244 > 0.242

  49/4 > √127 > 49/9 > 3/8 > 24.4% > 24.2% . . . . . original forms

The list in the correct order is ...

  49/4, √127, 3/8, 24.4% . . . . choice D
