Convert 9/25 to a decimal and a percent. (Answer: 0.36 and 36%) 2. Convert 62% to a fraction in lowest terms. (Answer: 31/50) 3. Order from least to greatest: 2/3, 0.67, 66%, 0.7. (Answer: 66% ＜ 2/3 ＜ 0.67 ＜ 0.7, since 66% = 0.66 and 2/3 ≈ 0.6667.) 4. Which is greatest: 5/8, 0.63, or 62%? (Answer: 0.63, since 5/8 = 0.625 and 62% = 0.62.)
