Ordering Numbers: From Smallest to Largest
This exercise involves arranging numbers in ascending order (from smallest to largest). Let's look at the numbers provided: 215, 2, 25%, and 2.05. To compare them easily, we need to express them in the same format. Let's convert them all to decimals: * 215 remains 215.00 * 2 remains 2.00 * 25% is equivalent to 0.25 (because 25/100 = 0.25) * 2.05 remains 2.05 Now we can easily arrange them from smallest to largest: 0.25, 2.00, 2.05, 215.00 Therefore, the correct order is: 25%, 2, 2.05, 215. This demonstrates the importance of understanding different number formats and converting them for easy comparison. It's a fundamental skill useful in many areas, from everyday budgeting to advanced mathematics. Mastering this simple concept builds a strong foundation for more complex numerical tasks.
