Answer 2

Answer: Zack won. If you compare the decimal equivalents of their scores, -3.666 < -3.625

Explanation:

Given: Vanessa and Zack are playing a game where the player with the lower score wins.

Score of Vanessa=
`-3(5)/(8)=-((29)/(8))=-3.625`

Score of Zack =
`-3(2)/(3)=-((11)/(3))=-3.666`

We can see
`-3.666<-3.625`

⇒ Zack has the lower score .

Hence, Zack won. If you compare the decimal equivalents of their scores, -3.666 < -3.625.
