Question

Which represents the numbers in order from least to greatest?9%, 9/10, 9, -9/1

Answer 1

To compare the values of 9%, 9/10, 9, and -9/1, we should first convert them all to a common format (either decimals or fractions).

1. **9%**:
\[
9\% = 0.09
\]

2. **9/10**:
\[
9/10 = 0.9
\]

3. **9**:
\[
9 = 9.0
\]

4. **-9/1**:
\[
-9/1 = -9
\]

Now, let's list these values:
- \( 0.09 \) (for 9%)
- \( 0.9 \) (for 9/10)
- \( 9.0 \) (for 9)
- \( -9 \) (for -9/1)

Now, arranging these in order from least to greatest gives us:
- **-9**
- **0.09** (9%)
- **0.9** (9/10)
- **9**

Therefore, the numbers in order from least to greatest are:
\[
-9, 9\%, \frac{9}{10}, 9
\]
