Assign the numbers to the number line in the following order:
2.15=2.15
220%=2.2
9/4=2.25
*2.15* is easy enough to place as it is already in decimal form. However, the other 2 options need to be converted to decimals in order to be placed. We have the fraction 9/4 and percentage 220%. 9/4 can either be simply divided on a calculator or turned into the mixed fraction 2 and 1/4, which is *2.25*. Finally, we know that converting a decimal to a percentage we multiply the decimal by 100. Therefore, to convert a percentage to a decimal we divide 100 or move the decimal to the left 2 places. With this conversion rule, 220% transforms to *2.2* and we have the third and final number for our number line. Arranging these three numbers from least to greatest:
2.15, 2.2, 2.25
