Question

Order the numbers from least to greatest.

$15\%,14.8,15\frac{4}{5},1450\%$

Answer 1

Step 1: Convert given data in simplest form

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 15\%=\frac{15}{100}=0.15 \\ \Rightarrow 14.8 \\ \Rightarrow 15\frac{4}{5}=\frac{(15\times 5)+4}{5}=\frac{79}{5}=15.8 \\ \Rightarrow 1450\%=\frac{1450}{100}=14.5 \end{gathered}$$

Step 2 : Comparing the number

The order of numbers from least to greatest is :

$0.15<14.5<14.8<15.8$

Now writing respecting values in that order:

$15\%<1450\%<14.8<15\frac{4}{5}$

Hence, order of numbers from least to greatest :$15\%<1450\%<14.8<15\frac{4}{5}$
