Question

during a soccer game. Erin scored 1 out of 2 goals attempted. Lauren scored 6 out of 8 goals attempted. Write the fraction that represents each and compare. Who was the most successful

Answer 1

Erin scored 1 of 2, or in fraction form: 1/2

Lauren scored 6 of 8, or in fraction form: 6/8

Find common denominators. multiply 4 to numerator and denominator of 1/2

(1/2) x (4/4) = 4/8

4/8 > 6/8

Lauren was more successful

hope this helps
