I need the answers
she sold more on tusday
How would u solve this?!
I know the answer, but HOW would u solve it?!
TELL ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
turn 0.85 into a fraction which is 17/20
or turn 7/9 into a decimal which is 0.77777777777778
then do 0.77777777777778
minus 0.85 and the answer is 0.0722222222222
Thank you so much for the answer

The answer is Tuesday because if u turn 7/9 into a decimal which is 0.77777778 which is less than 0.85. So that means Tuesday is right
I feel your lying anonymous
OMG stop FIGHTING everyone before I blow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know the answer but how to solve it
You guys gotta be kidding me- you need to turn
The decimal into a fraction- so technically 0.85 in fraction form is 85/100, and then you need the LCM or LCD for 7/9 and 85/100 which I actually dont know abt that but you figure it out- so technically, once you figure out the LCM you just make them both into fractions and whatever number is bigger is the answer lmao
i'm not cheating i'm just trying to understand the question...
Marietta sold more boxes of cheese on Tuesday.

Work:
Monday she sold 0.78 boxes because 7 ÷ 9 = 0.78.
If she sold 0.85 boxes on Tuesday, then 0.85 is a larger number than 0.78. So, she sold more boxes of cheese on Tuesday.
Ight thxs
On Monday she sold 7/9=0.77 of the boxes of cheeses. On Tuesday she sold 0.85 of the boxes of cheeses.
Because 0.85 >0.77 then Tuesday was the day she sold more boxes.
We have 0.85 and 7/9

You can convert either one to a decimal/fraction

0.85 converted to a fraction would be 85/100

85/100 simplified would be 17/20

We now have 7/9 and 17/20

Find LCD of the denominators (9 and 20)

The LCD is 180

7/9 * 20 =140/180 (Remember to multiply on both numbers 7 and 9)

17/20 * 9 = 153/180

The number that is being multiplied is how many times to get the simplified fraction.

Now see which one is greater and you have your answer! good luck!
It's difficult, but I hoped my explanation helped you guys.
