Question

Arrange the following numbers in ascending order using decimals:

$\frac{6}{10}$, $\frac{23}{50}$, $\text{and 0.25}$

• A. $\text{0.23, 0.25, 0.6}$
• B. $\text{0.25, 0.28, 0.06}$
• C. $\text{0.25, 0.46, 0.6}$
• D. $\text{0.32, 0.25, 0.6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\text{0.25, 0.46, 0.6}$

To arrange the numbers in ascending order, write the numbers in the decimal form, by making the denominators 100.

$\frac{6\times 10}{10\times 10}=$$\frac{60}{100}$ $=0.6$

$\frac{23\times 2}{50\times 2}=$$\frac{46}{100}$ $=0.46$

$\text{Arrange 0.6, 0.46 and 0.25}$ $\text{in ascending order.}$

Let's place the numbers on a number line.


Here, the number on the left side of the number line is always the smaller.

$\text{Now, arranging them in ascending order,}$ $\text{we get}$
$\text{0.25, 0.46, and 0.6.}$

Hence, c is the correct option.
