Question

Which is greater? 3/8 or 35%

Answer 1

Its 3/8 because I had the same problem

Answer 2

Answer: 3/8 is greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

35% is just 35/100. To compare 3/8 with 35/100, you need to make the denominator of 3/8 into 100. To do this, multiply both he top and the bottom by 12.5. You will get 37.5/100. Now, since the denominators are the same, just compare the numerators. 37.5/100 is greater than 35 so 3/8 is greater than 35%. You could also look at 37.5/100 as 37.5% which is more than 36% and, again, 3/8 is greater than 35%. Hope this helps!
