Question

Martin asked a friend to buy raffle tickets. On Saturday he sold tickets to 5 of the 12 friends he asked. On Sunday he sold tickets to 7 of the 9 friends he asked. On which day did he sell a greater fraction

Answer 1

He sold more when he sold 7/9 tickets.

Explanation:

Compare 5/12 to 7/9. He sold more tickets to the second group, because 7 is closer to 9 than 5 is to 12.

I hope this helped! :-)
