Question

arrange the following numbers in ascending order. 2\frac{2}{5}, 50\\%, 5.0\times10^{2}, 0.05

Explanation:

Step1: Convert numbers to decimal

$2\frac{2}{5}=\frac{12}{5}=2.4$, $50\% = 0.5$, $5.0\times10^{2}=500$, $0.05$ remains as is.

Step2: Compare decimal values

$0.05<0.5 < 2.4<500$.

Answer:

$0.05, 50\%, 2\frac{2}{5}, 5.0\times10^{2}$
