Question

Convert into percentages and arrange in descending order.

$1.3,0.02,0.75,0.5,1.08$

Answer 1

Step 1: Convert the given fractions into percentages

$1.3=\frac{13}{10}=\frac{13\times 10}{10\times 10}=\frac{130}{100}=130\%$

$0.02=\frac{2}{100}=2\%$

$0.75=\frac{75}{100}=75\%$

$.5=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{5\times 10}{10\times 10}=\frac{50}{100}=50\%$

$1.08=\frac{108}{100}=108\%$

Step 2: Arrange in descending order

Given percentages can be written in descending order as

$130\%,108\%,75\%,50\%,2\%$
