Tell what whole number you can substitute for A in each list so the numbers are ordered from least to greatest. If there is none, explain why. 3/A, A/5, 75% (P. S those are supposed to be fractions, and A is an algebra thingy)

+4

    Answer: None

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If A=4, say for example, our list becomes: 3/4, 4/5, 75%.

    This in decimal form becomes: 0.75, 0.8, 0.75 which is clearly not in ascending order.

    If A = 5, the list becomes 3/5, 5/5, 75% which clearly is 0.6, 1, 0.75 which is also not in ascending order.

    For any value of A greater than 5, the second term A/5 is greater than 1 thus being less than the third term 0.75.

    Therefore there is no whole number A that makes the list true.
