Number Classification: Sorting Values Around 2/5 Threshold

Question

Organise the following into two groups of values smaller than 25 \frac{2}{5} and values larger than 25 \frac{2}{5} :

13,41%,0.38,2420,18100 \frac{1}{3},41\%,0.38,\frac{24}{20},\frac{18}{100}

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Sorted into 2 groups
00:06 Let's multiply to find a common denominator
00:25 This fraction appears smaller than the given one
00:42 Now let's convert the given number to percentages and compare
01:06 These percentages are larger than the given number
01:14 Let's convert from fraction to decimal and compare
01:32 This number is smaller than the given one
01:46 Let's multiply to find a common denominator with the fraction
01:59 This fraction is larger than the given one
02:17 And this is the solution to the question

Answer

\frac{1}{3},0.38,\frac{18}{100}<\frac{2}{5}

41\%,\frac{24}{20}>\frac{2}{5}
