Praxis 5003 Practice Test Practice Question
Scenario/Extract:
1/2, 0.05, 5, 1/5
For the preceding numbers, which of the following lists gives the numbers ordered from least to greatest?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To determine the correct order from least to greatest, it is essential to convert all numbers into a comparable format, such as decimals.
- 1/2 equals 0.5, 1/5 equals 0.2, and 0.05 remains 0.05.
- When arranged, the values are: 0.05 (0.05), 0.2 (1/5), and 0.5 (1/2), with 5 being the largest.
Option D correctly lists the numbers as 0.05, 1/5 (0.2), 1/2 (0.5), and 5.
Option A incorrectly positions 1/5 before 0.05 and includes 0.5 before 5.
Option B places 0.05 after 1/2 and misplaces 1/5.
Option C also misorders 1/5 and 1/2.
Thus, D is the only option that accurately represents the numbers in ascending order.
