Salim and Medha are comparing results from a 2-day lab experiment. On Monday, Salim’s results showed that 0.907 of the particles were charged while Medha’s results showed that 88% of the particles were charged. On Tuesday, Salim’s results showed that 0.733 of the particles were charged while Medha’s results showed that 92% of the particles were charged. Who on what day had the greatest percentage of particles in their experiment?
A. Salim on Tuesday
B. Salim on Monday
C. Medha on Tuesday
D. Medha on Monday
it C
percent = decimal fraction times 100
Does anyone know if X_X is correct?
Is X_X Right?????????????????
To determine who had the greatest percentage of particles in their experiment, we need to compare the percentages of charged particles for both Salim and Medha on each day.
On Monday, Salim's results showed that 0.907 (or 90.7%) of the particles were charged. Medha's results showed that 88% of the particles were charged.
To compare these percentages, we can see that Salim had a higher percentage of charged particles than Medha on Monday. So, the option "B. Salim on Monday" is a possibility.
On Tuesday, Salim's results showed that 0.733 (or 73.3%) of the particles were charged. Medha's results showed that 92% of the particles were charged.
To compare these percentages, we can see that Medha had a higher percentage of charged particles than Salim on Tuesday. So, the option "C. Medha on Tuesday" is a possibility.
Thus, we need to compare the highest percentage between "B. Salim on Monday" and "C. Medha on Tuesday" to determine who had the greatest percentage of particles in their experiment.
To find the highest percentage, we need to compare 90.7% with 92%. We can see that 92% is higher than 90.7%.
Therefore, the correct answer is: D. Medha on Monday had the greatest percentage of particles in their experiment.
