Question

Arrange the numbers in the descending order by converting all of them into their repective percentage values.

• A. $\frac{1}{10}$
• B. $60\%$
• C. $\frac{2}{5}$
• D. $0.3$

Answer 1

Convert all the given numbers to their percentage values.

To convert to a percentage, we have to multiply the value with 100.

So,
$\frac{1}{10}$ on conversion into percentage becomes $\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{10}\times 100=10\%$

Similarly,
$\frac{2}{5}$ on conversion into percentage becomes $\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2}{5}\times 100=40\%$

$0.3$ on conversion into percentage will become $0.3\times 100=30\%$

$60\%$ will remain $60\%$

You know $10\%<30\%<40\%<60\%$

Arranging in the descending order, you get:
$60\%>\frac{2}{5}>0.3>\frac{1}{10}$
