Answer 1

The answer is the math test because its closer to the number and lower so it would count for more. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Maths

Explanation:

We find the percent equivalent of each test.

Maths: 14 out of 17

percent = part/whole × 100%

percent = 14/17 × 100%

percent = 82.35%

English: 31 out of 39

percent = part/whole × 100%

percent = 31/39 × 100%

percent = 79.49%

Since 82.35% > 79.49%, she did better in Maths.

Answer: Maths
