To compare the numbers 0.5, \( \frac{3}{10} \), and \( \frac{3}{5} \), it's helpful to convert them all into decimal form or a common format. Here are the conversions:
- \( 0.5 \) is already in decimal form.
- \( \frac{3}{10} = 0.3 \)
- \( \frac{3}{5} = 0.6 \) (since \( \frac{3}{5} = 0.6 \))
Now we can list them in decimal form:
- \( 0.3 \) (which is \( \frac{3}{10} \))
- \( 0.5 \)
- \( 0.6 \) (which is \( \frac{3}{5} \))
Putting them in order from least to greatest:
\( \frac{3}{10}, 0.5, \frac{3}{5} \)
Or in decimal form:
\( 0.3, 0.5, 0.6 \)
