Question

Pete looked at the colors of the shoes worn by his classmates. He found that 1/5 of the class wore white shoes, 3/20 wore blue shoes, 2/5 wore black shoes, and 1/4 wore red shoes. what color shoes did the most students have on? And how would i show the work? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

We need to change all of these fractions to equivalent fractions with common denominators.

Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number to get a denominator of 20.

1/5 = 4/20
2/5 = 8/20
1/4 = 5/20
