Question

(c) based on your answers above, compare the numbers below using <, >, or =.
0.15 square 25%
\frac{3}{20} square 0.1

Explanation:

Step1: Convert 25% to decimal

$25\% = \frac{25}{100} = 0.25$

Step2: Compare 0.15 and 0.25

$0.15 < 0.25$, so $0.15 < 25\%$

Step3: Convert $\frac{3}{20}$ to decimal

$\frac{3}{20} = 3 \div 20 = 0.15$

Step4: Compare 0.15 and 0.1

$0.15 > 0.1$, so $\frac{3}{20} > 0.1$

Answer:

$0.15 < 25\%$
$\frac{3}{20} > 0.1$
