We want to order from greatest to least the given numbers, we will see that the correct option is A: 0.42, 5/12, 41%, 2/5
So the given numbers are:
0.42, 2/5, 41%, and 5/12
Let's write all of these in decimal form so it is easier to order them:
2/5 = 2*(1/5) = 2*(0.20) = 0.40
41% in decimal form is just written as: (41%/100%) = 0.41
5/12 = 0.417
Now that we know all the numbers is easy to order them, the order is:
0.42, 0.417, 0.41, 0.40
Returning to the original notation, we have:
0.42, 5/12, 41%, 2/5.
Then the correct option is the first one, A.
