The chart below shows the highest quiz score Cynthia received in four of her classes.
Class

English 13 out of 14 correct
Science 93%
Math 25/27
History 0.93-
In which class did she have the highest score?
13/14 = 92.85%
25/27 = 92.59%
English or science but I mostly think English.
To determine in which class Cynthia had the highest score, we need to compare the scores given in the chart. Let's break it down:
English: The chart states that Cynthia got 13 out of 14 questions correct in English.
Science: The chart indicates that Cynthia scored 93% in Science.
Math: It shows that Cynthia got 25 out of 27 questions correct in Math.
History: The chart states that Cynthia scored 0.93- in History.
To compare these scores and find the highest one, we need to put them on the same scale.
English: 13 correct out of 14, gives us 13/14 ≈ 0.929
Science: 93%, which can be written as 0.93
Math: 25 out of 27, gives us 25/27 ≈ 0.926
History: 0.93-
Now that all the scores are on the same scale, we can compare them.
Out of the four classes, the highest score is in Science since 0.93 is greater than both 0.929 and 0.926. Therefore, she had the highest score in Science.
