Question

Each band member had 12 tickets to sell to the spring concert.

Answer 1

Matt sold the most, figure out the percentages of each by diving the top number by the bottom number.

Answer 2

You have to either find a common denominator or turn each fraction into a decimal to compare.

jamie: 2/3 = 66%
kim: 1/2 = 50%
matt: 3/4 = 75%
sally: 7/12 = 58%


jamie: 2/3 = 8/12
kim: 1/2 = 6/12
matt: 3/4 = 9/12
sally: 7/12 = 7/12

therefore, matt sold the most tickets
