Question

identify all of the numbers that have a value greater than 40%.
5.9 x 10^(-2)
0.6
\frac{12}{13}
\frac{2}{5}
0.45%
3 x 10^0

Explanation:

Step1: Convert 40% to decimal

$40\%=\frac{40}{100}=0.4$

Step2: Evaluate $5.9\times 10^{-2}$

$5.9\times 10^{-2}=0.059<0.4$

Step3: Evaluate 0.6

$0.6 > 0.4$

Step4: Evaluate $\frac{12}{13}$

$\frac{12}{13}\approx0.923>0.4$

Step5: Evaluate $\frac{2}{5}$

$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2\times20}{5\times20}=\frac{40}{100} = 0.4$ (not greater)

Step6: Evaluate 0.45%

$0.45\%=\frac{0.45}{100}=0.0045<0.4$

Step7: Evaluate $3\times 10^{0}$

$3\times 10^{0}=3>0.4$

Answer:

0.6, $\frac{12}{13}$, $3\times 10^{0}$
