If one store is selling 3/4 of a bushel of apples for $9, and another store is selling 2/3 of a bushel for $9, which store has the better deal? Explain you answer

Answer 1

A. 3/4 (75%) 3/4 B 2/3 (66%) To determine the amount you need to convert the fraction into a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom and getting a decimal .75 .
