Question
Gracie and Lizzie are comparing their grades they earned on their latest assignment in Math. Gracie earned 150200
and Lizzie earned 92%. Which student's grade is the highest? Write your answer as a percentage.
To compare their grades, we need to convert Gracie's grade to a percentage.
Gracie earned 150 out of 200, so we can divide the number of points earned by the total points possible and multiply by 100 to find the percentage.
Gracie's grade: (150/200) * 100 = 75%
Lizzie earned 92% on her assignment.
Comparing the two grades, Lizzie's grade of 92% is higher than Gracie's grade of 75%.
Therefore, Lizzie's grade is the highest.
