Question

Put the following rational numbers in order from least to greatest. 70%, 7%, 17%, -3.7%, 0.3%

Answer 1

Order them by value (convert percents to decimals by dividing by 100):

-3.7% = -0.037
0.3% = 0.003
7% = 0.07
17% = 0.17
70% = 0.7

So from least to greatest: -3.7%, 0.3%, 7%, 17%, 70%.
