Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Elizabeth withdrew $31 at a time from her bank account and withdrew a total of $279. This means Elizabeth withdrew ($279/$31) = 9 times.

Fran withdrew $46 at a time from her bank account and withdrew a total of $184. This means that Fran withdrew ($184/$46)= 4 times.

Therefore, Elizabeth made the greater number of withdrawals.

[Elizabeth] made the greater number of withdrawals, because she made [9] withdrawals, while [Fran] only made [4] withdrawals.
