Question

Vanessa and Zack are playing a game where the player with the lower score wins. At the end of the game, Vanessa has a score of Negative 3 and Start Fraction 5 over 8 EndFraction and Zack has a score of Negative 3 and two-thirds. Which statement explains who won?

Answer 1

Answer:

Zach won

Step-by-step explanation:

For UA to be able to know the lowest score, we can express their score as percentage.

Vanessa score = -3 5/8 = -29/8

Express in percentage

= -29/8 × 100

= -2900/8

= - 362.5%

Zack score = -3 2/3 = -11/3

Express as percentage

= -11/3 ×100

= -1100/3

= -366.7%

Since the person with lowest score wins, hence Zack won. Note that the highest negative value serves as the lowest score.
