Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll convert each given value into decimal form and compare it with 0.5 0.5 .

  • 57%=0.57 57\% = 0.57 , and since 0.57>0.5 0.57 > 0.5 , it is larger than 12 \frac{1}{2} .
  • 49%=0.49 49\% = 0.49 , and since 0.49<0.5 0.49 < 0.5 , it is smaller than 12 \frac{1}{2} .
  • 0.54 0.54 is already in decimal form, and since 0.54>0.5 0.54 > 0.5 , it is larger than 12 \frac{1}{2} .
  • 80%=0.80 80\% = 0.80 , and since 0.80>0.5 0.80 > 0.5 , it is larger than 12 \frac{1}{2} .
  • 57100=0.57 \frac{57}{100} = 0.57 , and since 0.57>0.5 0.57 > 0.5 , it is larger than 12 \frac{1}{2} .

After comparing all the values, we classify them as follows:
- Smaller than 12 \frac{1}{2} : 49% 49\%
- Larger than 12 \frac{1}{2} : 57% 57\% , 0.54 0.54 , 80% 80\% , 57100 \frac{57}{100}

Therefore, the correct classification is:

49%<12 49\% < \frac{1}{2}

57%,0.54,80%,57100>12 57\%, 0.54, 80\%, \frac{57}{100} > \frac{1}{2}

Answer

49\%<\frac{1}{2}

57\%,0.54,80\%,\frac{57}{100}>\frac{1}{2}

Exercise #2

Organise the following into two groups of values greater than 25% and values less than 25%:

1350,34,34%,24100,0.28 \frac{13}{50},\frac{3}{4},34\%,\frac{24}{100},0.28

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll convert each given value to a percentage and compare it with 25%.

  • 1350 \frac{13}{50} : Calculate as (1350)×100=26% \left(\frac{13}{50}\right) \times 100 = 26\% .
  • 34 \frac{3}{4} : Calculate as (34)×100=75% \left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \times 100 = 75\% .
  • 34% 34\% : This value is already in percentage form as 34%.
  • 24100 \frac{24}{100} : Calculate as (24100)×100=24% \left(\frac{24}{100}\right) \times 100 = 24\% .
  • 0.28 0.28 : Calculate as 0.28×100=28% 0.28 \times 100 = 28\% .

Now, we compare each percentage to 25%:

  • 1350=26%\frac{13}{50} = 26\% which is greater than 25%.
  • 34=75%\frac{3}{4} = 75\% which is greater than 25%.
  • 34%34\% which is greater than 25%.
  • 24100=24%\frac{24}{100} = 24\% which is less than 25%.
  • 0.28=28%0.28 = 28\% which is greater than 25%.

Thus, grouping these values gives us:

  • Values greater than 25%: 1350,34,34%,0.28 \frac{13}{50}, \frac{3}{4}, 34\%, 0.28
  • Values less than 25%: 24100 \frac{24}{100}

Therefore, the correct answer is:

\frac{13}{50},\frac{3}{4},34\%,0.28>25\%

\frac{24}{100}<25\%

Answer

\frac{13}{50},\frac{3}{4},34\%,0.28>25\%

\frac{24}{100}<25\%

Exercise #3

Organise the following into two groups of values less than 12% and values greater than 12%.

11100,0.1,0.13,640,20% \frac{11}{100},0.1,0.13,\frac{6}{40},20\%

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

12%=12100=0.12 12\%=\frac{12}{100}=0.12

Now we will convert all values into percentages and see which are greater and which are less than 12%.

640×2.52.5=15100=15% \frac{6}{40}\times\frac{2.5}{2.5}=\frac{15}{100}=15\%

11100=11% \frac{11}{100}=11\%

0.1=10100=10% 0.1=\frac{10}{100}=10\%

0.13=13100=13% 0.13=\frac{13}{100}=13\%

Now we can observe which are greater and less than 12%.

Answer

0.13,\frac{6}{40},20\%>12\%

\frac{11}{100},0.1<12\%

Exercise #4

Organise the following into two groups of parts greater than 60% and parts less than 60%:

0.7,67100,59100,0.2,45 0.7,\frac{67}{100},\frac{59}{100},0.2,\frac{4}{5}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To categorize the numbers based on being greater than or less than 60%, we will first convert the fractions into decimals:

  • 0.70.7 is already a decimal, equivalent to 70%70\%, which is greater than 60%60\%.
  • 67100=0.67 \frac{67}{100} = 0.67, equivalent to 67%67\%, which is greater than 60%60\%.
  • 59100=0.59 \frac{59}{100} = 0.59, equivalent to 59%59\%, which is less than 60%60\%.
  • 0.20.2 is already a decimal, equivalent to 20%20\%, which is less than 60%60\%.
  • 45=0.8 \frac{4}{5} = 0.8, equivalent to 80%80\%, which is greater than 60%60\%.

Based on these conversions and comparisons, we organize them into two groups:

The numbers less than 60%60\% are 0.20.2 and 59100\frac{59}{100}.

The numbers greater than 60%60\% are 0.70.7, 67100\frac{67}{100}, and 45\frac{4}{5}.

Rechecking our work against the answer choices given confirms that the correct grouping is choice 3. Therefore, the solution is as follows:

0.2,\frac{59}{100}<60\%

0.7,\frac{67}{100},\frac{4}{5}>60\%

Answer

0.2,\frac{59}{100}<60\%

0.7,\frac{67}{100},\frac{4}{5}>60\%

Exercise #5

Organise the following into two groups of parts greater than 20% and parts less than 20%:

1850,0.24,0.19,45%,28100 \frac{18}{50},0.24,0.19,45\%,\frac{28}{100}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll proceed with the following steps:

  • Step 1: Convert each given value to a decimal form for consistent comparison.
  • Step 2: Compare each decimal to 0.20, sort values into the categories: greater than 20% and less than 20%.

Let's convert each value:
- 1850=0.36 \frac{18}{50} = 0.36
- 0.24 0.24 is already in decimal form.
- 0.19 0.19 is already in decimal form.
- 45% 45\% in decimal form is 0.45 0.45 .
- 28100=0.28 \frac{28}{100} = 0.28 .

Now we compare each with 0.20:

  • 1850=0.36 \frac{18}{50} = 0.36 is greater than 0.20 0.20 .
  • 0.24 0.24 is greater than 0.20 0.20 .
  • 0.19 0.19 is less than 0.20 0.20 .
  • 45% 45\% or 0.45 0.45 is greater than 0.20 0.20 .
  • 28100=0.28 \frac{28}{100} = 0.28 is greater than 0.20 0.20 .

Based on these comparisons, we organize them into two groups:

Greater than 20%: 1850,0.24,45%,28100 \frac{18}{50}, 0.24, 45\%, \frac{28}{100}

Less than 20%: 0.19 0.19

Therefore, the values sorted into their respective categories are:

\frac{18}{50},0.24,45\%,\frac{28}{100}>20\%

0.19<20\%

Answer

\frac{18}{50},0.24,45\%,\frac{28}{100}>20\%

0.19<20\%

Exercise #6

Organise the following into two groups of parts greater than 15 \frac{1}{5} and parts less than 15: \frac{1}{5}:

5100,24%,50%,14,0.5 \frac{5}{100},24\%,50\%,\frac{1}{4},0.5

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Convert all parts to decimals.

  • Step 2: Compare each decimal to 0.2 0.2 (the decimal form of 15 \frac{1}{5} ).

  • Step 3: Organize the values based on whether they are greater or lesser than 0.2 0.2 .

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Convert each value to a decimal.

  • 5100=0.05 \frac{5}{100} = 0.05

  • 24%=0.24 24\% = 0.24

  • 50%=0.5 50\% = 0.5

  • 14=0.25 \frac{1}{4} = 0.25

  • 0.5=0.5 0.5 = 0.5

Step 2: Compare each decimal to 0.2 0.2 .

  • 0.05 < 0.2

  • 0.24 > 0.2

  • 0.5 > 0.2

  • 0.25 > 0.2

  • 0.5 > 0.2

Step 3: Group the values:

  • Parts less than 15 \frac{1}{5} : 5100 \frac{5}{100}

  • Parts greater than 15 \frac{1}{5} : 24%,50%,14,0.5 24\%, 50\%, \frac{1}{4}, 0.5

Therefore, the correct arrangement is:

\frac{5}{100}<\frac{1}{5}

24\%,50\%,\frac{1}{4},0.5>\frac{1}{5}

Answer

\frac{5}{100}<\frac{1}{5}

24\%,50\%,\frac{1}{4},0.5>\frac{1}{5}

Exercise #7

Organise the following into two groups of values smaller than 18 \frac{1}{8} and values larger than18 \frac{1}{8} :

10%,20%,1180,97800,0.15 10\%,20\%,\frac{11}{80},\frac{97}{800},0.15

Step-by-Step Solution

The problem requires us to organize values into two groups based on whether they are smaller or larger than 18 \frac{1}{8} , which equals 0.125 0.125 .

First, convert the percentages to decimal form:

  • 10%=0.10 10\% = 0.10

  • 20%=0.20 20\% = 0.20

Now convert the fractions to decimal form:

  • 1180=0.1375 \frac{11}{80} = 0.1375

  • 97800=0.12125 \frac{97}{800} = 0.12125

The decimal 0.15 0.15 is already given in decimal form.

We compare all values to 0.125 0.125 (which is 18 \frac{1}{8} ):

  • 0.10 < 0.125

  • 0.20 > 0.125

  • 0.1375 > 0.125

  • 0.12125 < 0.125

  • 0.15 > 0.125

Thus, we have:

Values smaller than 18 \frac{1}{8} : 10% 10\% and 97800 \frac{97}{800} .

Values larger than 18 \frac{1}{8} : 20% 20\% , 1180 \frac{11}{80} , and 0.15 0.15 .

The correct grouping matches choice 1:
10\%, \frac{97}{800} < \frac{1}{8}
20\%, \frac{11}{80}, 0.15 > \frac{1}{8}

Answer

10\%,\frac{97}{800}<\frac{1}{8}

20\%,\frac{11}{80},0.15>\frac{1}{8}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll convert all given values to decimal form and compare them with 0.14.

  • Convert 620\frac{6}{20} to a decimal: 620=0.3\frac{6}{20} = 0.3.
  • Convert 640\frac{6}{40} to a decimal: 640=0.15\frac{6}{40} = 0.15.
  • Convert 1495\frac{14}{95} to a decimal: 14950.1474\frac{14}{95} \approx 0.1474.
  • Convert 13\frac{1}{3} to a decimal: 130.3333\frac{1}{3} \approx 0.3333.
  • 0.10.1 is already a decimal.

Now compare each value to 0.14:

  • 0.1<0.140.1 < 0.14
  • 0.3>0.140.3 > 0.14
  • 0.15>0.140.15 > 0.14
  • 0.1474>0.140.1474 > 0.14
  • 0.3333>0.140.3333 > 0.14

Therefore, grouping the values:

  • Values greater than 14%: 13\frac{1}{3}, 640\frac{6}{40}, 620\frac{6}{20}
  • Values less than 14%: 1495\frac{14}{95}, 0.10.1

In conclusion, the values greater than 14% are 13\frac{1}{3}, 640\frac{6}{40}, 620\frac{6}{20} and less than 14% are 1495\frac{14}{95}, 0.10.1.

The correct answer choice is:

\frac{1}{3},\frac{6}{40},\frac{6}{20}>14\%

\frac{14}{95},0.1<14\%

Answer

\frac{1}{3},\frac{6}{40},\frac{6}{20}>14\%

\frac{14}{95},0.1<14\%

To solve this problem, we'll convert each value to a decimal and compare it with 0.100.10 (which represents 10%10\%):

  • Convert 19%19\% to a decimal: 19%=0.1919\% = 0.19. Compare with 0.100.10; 0.19 > 0.10.

  • 0.90.9 is already a decimal. Compare directly: 0.9 > 0.10.

  • 0.090.09 is already a decimal. Compare directly: 0.09 < 0.10.

  • Convert 19100\frac{19}{100} to a decimal: 19100=0.19\frac{19}{100} = 0.19. Compare with 0.100.10; 0.19 > 0.10.

  • Convert 111\frac{1}{11} to a decimal: 1110.0909\frac{1}{11} \approx 0.0909. Compare with 0.100.10; 0.0909 < 0.10.

Thus, the values can be grouped as follows:

Values less than 10%10\%: 0.09,1110.09, \frac{1}{11}.

Values greater than 10%10\%: 0.9,19100,19%0.9, \frac{19}{100}, 19\%.

The solution involves accurate conversion and comparison:

Therefore, the correct grouping is:

0.09, \frac{1}{11}<10\%

0.9, \frac{19}{100}, 19\% > 10\%

Answer

0.09,\frac{1}{11}<10\%

Exercise #10

Organise the values below into two groups of values greater than 110% and values less than 110%:

1.7,105100,1314,0.7,120100 1.7,\frac{105}{100},\frac{13}{14},0.7,\frac{120}{100}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Recognize that 110%110\% is equivalent to 1.11.1 when converted to decimal form.
  • Step 2: Convert each given fraction to a decimal number for easy comparison, if necessary.
  • Step 3: Compare each value with 1.11.1 to sort.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Convert 110%110\% to a decimal: 110%=110100=1.1110\% = \frac{110}{100} = 1.1.

Step 2: Express each number in decimal form:

  • The number 1.71.7 is already a decimal.
  • 105100\frac{105}{100} becomes 1.051.05.
  • 1314\frac{13}{14} calculates to approximately 0.92860.9286.
  • The number 0.70.7 is already a decimal.
  • 120100\frac{120}{100} becomes 1.21.2.

Step 3: Compare each value against 1.11.1:

  • 1.7>1.11.7 > 1.1 (greater than 110%)
  • 1051001.05<1.1\frac{105}{100} \approx 1.05 < 1.1 (less than 110%)
  • 13140.9286<1.1\frac{13}{14} \approx 0.9286 < 1.1 (less than 110%)
  • 0.7<1.10.7 < 1.1 (less than 110%)
  • 120100=1.2>1.1\frac{120}{100} = 1.2 > 1.1 (greater than 110%)

Therefore, the organized groups are:

120100,1.7\frac{120}{100}, 1.7 are greater than 110%.

0.7,1314,1051000.7, \frac{13}{14}, \frac{105}{100} are less than 110%.

  • 0.667(23)>0.375 0.667 (\frac{2}{3}) > 0.375

Therefore, the values less than 38 \frac{3}{8} are 13 \frac{1}{3} and 36% 36\% , while the values greater than 38 \frac{3}{8} are 40% 40\% , 0.42 0.42 , and 23 \frac{2}{3} .

The correct answer choice is:

36\%,\frac{1}{3}<\frac{3}{8}

0.42,40\%,\frac{2}{3}>\frac{3}{8}

Answer

36\%,\frac{1}{3}<\frac{3}{8}

0.42,40\%,\frac{2}{3}>\frac{3}{8}
