Question

Marietta is selling cheeses for the holiday fundraiser. On Monday, she sold 7/9 of the boxes of cheeses. On Tuesday she restocked her supply and sold 0.85 of the boxes of cheeses. On which day did Marietta sell more boxes? Explain. (HINT: Convert 7/9 into a decimal. To do this, take 7 and divide it by 9 then compare that decimal number with 0.85 and tell me which one is larger.)

Answer 1

0.85 is larger than 7/9

Answer 2

0.85 is larger than 7/9
