Question 10 of 10
10. Question
Category: NumberSkill (Level 3): Comparing and ordering percentages and fractions in a measurement context.
Michael’s results of his last four science tests are listed below:
13/20 14/25 73% 34/50
Drag and drop Michael’s lowest and highest percentage scores to their correct positions.
Sort elements
- 14/25
- 73%
- 13/20
- 34/50
-
lowest % score is
-
highest % score is
CorrectIncorrectHint
- To compare the four scores we need to change all scores to a mark out of 100.
- 13/20 (multiply top and bottom by 5).
- 14/25 (multiply top and bottom by 4).
- 73% = 73/100 (73/100 is the same as 73%).
- 34/50 = (multiply top and bottom by 2).
