D.
25, 611, 47

Answer 1

To compare the fractions \( \frac{25}{100}, \frac{611}{1000}, \frac{47}{100} \), we want to express them with a common denominator or convert them to decimal form.

1. Convert to decimals:

   • \( \frac{25}{100} = 0.25 \)
   • \( \frac{611}{1000} = 0.611 \)
   • \( \frac{47}{100} = 0.47 \)

2. Compare the decimal values:

   • \( 0.25 < 0.47 < 0.611 \)

3. List the fractions from least to greatest:

   • \( \frac{25}{100}, \frac{47}{100}, \frac{611}{1000} \)

Thus, the correct order is:

Option B. \( 25, 47, 611 \).
