Question

Ashley made 85% of her free throws. Emma made 7/8 of her free throws. who has the better average?

Answer 1

We need to compare two numbers, so we need to put them in the same format. In this case, we will choose the decimal form

`\begin{gathered} 85\text{ \%=0.85} \\ (7)/(8)=0.875 \end{gathered}`

Then, Emma has a better average than Ashley.
