Question

A teacher let her students grade their math quizzes. •Jon wrote 13 out of 18 •Jim wrote .7 (repeated .7) •Joe reduced his to 5/6 who had the higher grade?

Answer 1

Answer:

Joe

Step-by-step explanation:

Jon wrote 13 out of 18

Dividing 13 by 18 we get, decimal form

$\frac{13}{18}=0.722........$

Jim wrote .7 (repeated .7)

0.777..........

Joe reduced his to 5/6

Dividing 5 by 6 we get, decimal form

$\frac{5}{6}=0.833........$

These numbers are irrational numbers

0.833......>0.777........>0.722......

So, Joe had the higher grade.

Answer 2

I’m guessing JOE! Hoped that helped
