Gracie and Lizzie are comparing their grades they earned on their latest assignment in Math. Gracie earned 150/200
and Lizzie earned 92%. Which student's grade is the highest? Write your answer as a percentage.(1 point)
%
To compare the grades, we need to convert Gracie's score into a percentage as well.
Gracie earned 150 out of 200, so to find her percentage, we divide her score by the maximum score and then multiply by 100:
Percentage = (Score / Maximum score) * 100
Percentage = (150 / 200) * 100
Percentage = 0.75 * 100
Percentage = 75%
Lizzie earned 92%, so her grade is already in percentage form.
Now we can compare their grades. Gracie earned 75% whereas Lizzie earned 92%. Therefore, Lizzie's grade is higher.
Answer: Lizzie's grade is the highest with 92%.
