Compare Mixed Numbers with 1/8: Sorting 10%, 20%, 11/80, and More

Question

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}
