Answer: Samantha
Step-by-step explanation:
Two ways you could solve this percents or fractions.
Percents
Peter: 4/5 = 80%
Samantha: 7/8 = 87.5%
Fractions
Set the denominator equal to each other
the common denominator would be a multiples to both 5 and 8 which is 40.
Peter: 4/5 = 32/40 because 5 times 8 is 40 and what you do to the denominator you do to the numerator so 4 times 8 is 32.
Samantha: 7/8 = 35/40 because 8 x 5 = 40 and 7 x 5 = 35.
Then compare and 35/40 is greater so Samantha.
