Question

Four students took an exam. The fraction of the total possible points that each received is given. Which student had the highest score? A. Monica, 22/55

B. Lily, 17/20
C. Nikki, 4/5
D. Sydney, 3/4

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The easiest way to find the answer is to convert all of the fractions to have the same denominator,...

A = (22/55 / 11 = 2/5 and 2/5 * 20) = 40/100

B = (17/20 * 5) = 85/100

C = (4/5 * 20) = 80/100

D = (3/4 * 25) = 75/100

B (Lily) is the highest followed by C (Nikki), D (Sydney), and A (Monica)
