Answer:

Peter got 15/20 and Thando got 7/10 and mary got 17/25

to compare fractions which do not have the same denominator:

We reduce them to the same denominator, the largest is the one with the largest numerator

Peter got 15/20 and Thando got 7/10 and Mary got 17/25 to justify who got the higher score

common denominator: 100

Peter: (15*5)/20*5 = 75/100

Thando: (7*10)/(10*10)= 70/100

Mary:(17*4)/(25*4)=68/100

Peter got the highest score
