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

$\begin{gathered} 85\text{ \%=0.85} \\ \frac{7}{8}=0.875 \end{gathered}$

Then, Emma has a better average than Ashley.
