A quartermaster is reviewing the completion status of four different supply warehouse inventories. To prioritize manpower, arrange the warehouses from the least completed inventory to the most completed inventory.

1Warehouse Charlie: $\frac{1}{4}$ completed
2Warehouse Delta: $\frac{3}{10}$ completed
3Warehouse Alpha: $0.35$ completed
4Warehouse Bravo: $40\%$ completed

Answer

Warehouse Charlie, Warehouse Delta, Warehouse Alpha, Warehouse Bravo

By converting all values to percentages (

35\%

40\%

25\%

, and

30\%

), we can easily compare them. The lowest value is

25\%

(Charlie), followed by

30\%

(Delta), then

35\%

(Alpha), and the highest is

40\%

(Bravo).

Step-by-Step Solution

Convert all completion statuses to a common format, such as percentages, for direct comparison.

Warehouse Alpha =

35\%

, Warehouse Bravo =

40\%

Comparing numbers in different formats is difficult and prone to error.

Convert the fractions for Warehouse Charlie and Warehouse Delta to percentages.

Warehouse Charlie:

\frac{1}{4} = 25\%

. Warehouse Delta:

\frac{3}{10} = 30\%

Fractions with denominators of

4

and

10

can be easily converted to percentages.

Order the converted percentage values from least to greatest.

25\% < 30\% < 35\% < 40\%

The question asks for the order from least completed to most completed.

Match the ordered percentages back to their respective warehouses.

Charlie (

25\%

), Delta (

30\%

), Alpha (

35\%

), Bravo (

40\%

This provides the final required sequence.
