To convert the percentages to a fraction in its simplest form and a decimal: (a) For 7%: (i) As a fraction, 7% = \( \frac{7}{100} \) (already in simplest form). (ii) As a decimal, 7% = 0.07. (b) For 30%: (i) As a fraction, 30% = \( \frac{30}{100} = \frac{3}{10} \) (simplest form). (ii) As a decimal, 30% = 0.30. (c) For 65%: (i) As a fraction, 65% = \( \frac{65}{100} = \frac{13}{20} \) (simplest form). (ii) As a decimal, 65% = 0.65. (d) For 160%: (i) As a fraction, 160% = \( \frac{160}{100} = \frac{8}{5} \) (simplest form). (ii) As a decimal, 160% = 1.60. Now, to arrange the percentages in ascending order: 1. \( 0.01\% \) = 0.0001 2. \( \frac{1}{8}\% \) = 0.125% = 0.00125 3. \( 1 \frac{3}{4}\% \) = 1.75% = 0.0175 4. \( 2.2\% \) = 0.022 5. \( 33.9\% \) = 0.339 6. \( 160\% \) = 1.60 7. \( 200\% \) = 2.00 So the ascending order is: \( 0.01\% < \frac{1}{8}\% < 1 \frac{3}{4}\% < 2.2\% < 33.9\% < 160\% < 200\% \).
