Answer:

Joe

Explanation:

Jon wrote 13 out of 18

Dividing 13 by 18 we get, decimal form


(13)/(18)=0.722........

Jim wrote .7 (repeated .7)

0.777..........

Joe reduced his to 5/6

Dividing 5 by 6 we get, decimal form


(5)/(6)=0.833........

These numbers are irrational numbers

0.833......>0.777........>0.722......

So, Joe had the higher grade.
