b. In which game did you score the greatest fraction of points

Answer 1

1/3 2/7 1/13 3/13 4/15

Answer 2

1/3, 2/7, 3/13, 1/13, 4/15

Explanation:

Game 1: 12/42 -> divide by 6 -> 2/7

Game 2: 19/57 -> factor 19 from top and bottom 19*1/19*3, cut the 19s, and you are left with 1/3

Game 3: 15/65 -> divide by 5 ->3/13

Game 4: 4/52 -> divide by 4 ->1/13

Game 5: 16/60 divide by 4 -> 4/15
