Answer 1

The math exam.

Explanation:

Ir order to compare all these scores, let's convert them to the relative form (a percentage).

Art one is easy, since it's given by the problem: 78%.

English score percentage will be given by this operation: (19/25)=0.76= 76%.

Math is the same concept as in English, 32/40= 0.8= 80%.

Now, compare the 3 results:

Art: 78%.

English: 76%.

Math: 80%.

The math exam was was the one where Maria received the highest score out of the 3 tests.
