What Order?Order the following from smallest to largest:
312 0.30 22% 2
5 28%
First, you must convert them to the same unit, for example all percentages:
25% 30% 22% 40% 28%
Now, you are able to order them from smallest to largest:
22% 25% 28% 30% 40%
The last step is to use the original units in your final answer:
312 0.3022% 2
