Daniel · Answer 1

Tim 41/50. Lila 21/25

To get the first fraction to?/100 you need to divide the denominator (50) from 100, which you would get 2, so multiply the numerator by 2 to get 82%. Same with Lila, which would be 84%.

"Tim, go get a calculator," is what I would say.

Marissa Hamilton · Answer 2

If Tim scored 41/50 and Lila scored 21/25, then if you were to convert both scores to fractions with 100, you would get that Tim made an 82/100 and Lila made an 84/100. This means that Lila actually scored 2% higher than Tim did.
