Answer 1

Monday: 2/3

Tuesday: 7/8

Wednesday: 1/2

Thursday: 3/4

You have to compare the fractions:

There are several methods to compare fractions. I will use the conversion to a common denominator.

This is how you convert all the fractions to an equivalent form with common denominator.

The least common denominator is: 3 * 2^3 = 24

Original fraction equivalent fraction

2/3 2*8 / 3*8 = 16 / 24

7/8 7*3 / 8*3 = 21 / 24

1/2 1*12 / 2* 12 = 12 / 24

3/4 3*6 / 4*6 = 18 / 24

Now you can compare the fractions: 12/24 < 16/24 < 18/24 < 21/24.

So, you see that the greatest fraction is 21 /24, i.e. 7/8, and the answer is the day when 7/8 of the team practiced.

Answer: Tuesday.
