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}
