Answer 1

Linda, Julie, Jenna, Karl

Explanation:

Here, we want to list the students in order from lowest to highest

The key here is to have the scores in the same form, let us say decimals for ease of comparison

Jenna: 85% = 85/100 = 0.85

Linda’s= 32/40 = 80% = 0.8

Karl = 7/8 = 0.875

Julie = 0.83

So from lowest to highest, we have;

Linda, Julie, Jenna, Karl
