Question

Avery and Nolan's baseball teams are fundraising. Avery's team has reached ⅗ of their goal. Nolan's team has reached 5/9 of their goal. Avery says her team collected more money than Nolan's team. Both of the goals are $450. Is Avery correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes , Avery is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To check if Avery is correct, we need to know the exact value obtained in each of their goals

For Avery’s team;

3/5 * 450 = $270

For Nolan’s team

5/9 * 450 = $250

Since $270 is greater than $250, we can see that Avery’s team collected more money
