Answer 1

Answer:

Rhian did better in the Math test.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Rhian scored $14$ out of $17$ in a Math test. In the English test she scored $31$ out of $39$.

To find: In which test did she do better?

Solution:

We have,

Rhian scored $14$ out of $17$ in a Math test.

Rhian scored $31$ out of $39$ in an English test.

So, first we need to find the percentage of the marks scored.

Percentage in the Math test $=\frac{14}{17}\times100=82.35 \%$.

Percentage in the English test $=\frac{31}{39}\times100= 79.49\%$.    

Clearly, the percentage in the Math test is greater than the percentage in the English test.

So, Rhian did better in the Math test.
