puyt those numbers in order from greatest to least 0.59 3/8 2/5

Answer 1

To order the numbers \(0.59\), \(\frac{3}{8}\), and \(\frac{2}{5}\) from greatest to least, we can convert the fractions to decimal form.

1. Convert \(\frac{3}{8}\) to a decimal: \[ \frac{3}{8} = 0.375 \]

2. Convert \(\frac{2}{5}\) to a decimal: \[ \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 \]

Now we have the following values:

• \(0.59\)
• \(0.375\) (from \(\frac{3}{8}\))
• \(0.4\) (from \(\frac{2}{5}\))

Now we can order them from greatest to least:

1. \(0.59\)
2. \(0.4\)
3. \(0.375\)

So, the final order from greatest to least is: \(0.59, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{8}\).
