Question

Salim and Medha are comparing results from a two-day lab experiment. On Monday, Salim’s results showed that 0.907 of the particles were charged while Medha’s results showed that 88% of the particles were charged. On Tuesday, Salim’s results showed that 0.733 of the particles were charged while Medha’s results showed that 92% of the particles were charged. Who on what day had the greatest percentage of charged particles in their experiment?

Answer 1

Medha on Tuesday. 0.92 is greater than the others.

Answer 2

Answer: Medha on Tuesday, had the greatest percentage of charged particles in their experiment i.e. 92%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Percentage that the particles were charged showed by Salim on Monday = 0.907 ×100=90.7%

Percentage that the particles were charged showed by Medha on Monday = 88%

Percentage that the particles were charged shown by Salim on Tuesday = 0.733×100%=73.3%

Percentage that the particles were charged shown by Medha on Tuesday = 92%

On comparing all of the above , we get that

Medha on Tuesday, had the greatest percentage of charged particles in their experiment i.e. 92%.
