Question:
Which is largest in $8 \frac{1}{3} \%, \frac{4}{25}$ and $0.15 ?$
Solution:
We have:
$8 \frac{1}{3} \%, \frac{4}{25}$
$=\left(\frac{25}{3} \times \frac{1}{100}\right)$
$=\frac{1}{12}$
$=0.083$
Also, $\frac{4}{25}=0.16$
The third number is $0.15$.
Clearly, $0.16$ is the largest.
i.e., $\frac{4}{25}$ is the largest.
