Question

Jeremiah got 8 out of 10 problems correct on his test. Mariah got 36 out of 40 problems correct on her test. Who got the greater fraction of their problems correct

Answer 1

Answer:

Mariah got the greater fraction correct, because she had 0.9 while Jeremiah only had 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To know who had the greater fraction correct in Mariah and Jeremiah, we need to convert their marks into decimal and then fine the greater.

Jeremiah had 8 out of 10. The fraction would be 8/10. Converting it to decimal gives 0.8

Mariah had 36 out of 40. The fraction would be 36/40. Converting to decimal gives 0.9

0.9 is greater than 0.8

Mariah had the greater correct
