Question

Order the numbers from least to greatest.

$\frac{7}{8},0.85,87\%,\frac{3}{4},78\%$

Answer 1

Hint: $A\%=\frac{A}{100}$

Step 1: Firstly we have to convert all parts in simplest form

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{7}{8}=0.8750.850 \\ 87\%=\frac{87}{100}=0.870\frac{3}{4}=0.750 \\ 78\%=\frac{78}{100}=0.780 \end{gathered}$$

Step 2: Now by comparing we can arrange all in the least to greatest order:

$0.750<0.780<0.850<0.870<0.875$

Step 3: Now writing respecting values in that order:

$\frac{3}{4}<78\%<0.85<87\%<\frac{7}{8}$

Hence, the required answer is $\frac{3}{4}<78\%<0.85<87\%<\frac{7}{8}$
