Question

Mila has 100 math problems to finish this week.She solved 2/10 of her problems on Monday and 25/100 of the problems on Tuesday.       Did Mila solve more problems on Monday or on Tuesday?Explain.      What fraction of the math problems for the week did Mila solve on Monday and Tuesday.
 

Answer 1

She answerd more on Tuesday, she did 1/4 = 25% ... on monday she did 2/10 = 20% 

Answer 2

The answer is 25/100 because if you convert the fraction into a decimal you will get 0.25 hundredths.So you do the same to 2/10 and you will get 0.2 tenths.Since 0.2 is in the the tenths it means it is really 0.20 hundredths if you were to convert it to hundredths and 0.25 is more than 0.2.So she did more math problems on Monday than on Tuesday.
