Question

During school hours, Neha finished 73% of her homework and Minakshi completed 5/8 of her homework. Who must finish a greater per cent of homework?

Answer 1

Given, Neha finished her homework = 73% = 73/100

Also, Minakshi finished = 5/8 of her homework

Home work left for Minakshi = 1 - 5/8

= (8 - 5)/8

= 3/8

Calculating minakshi homework in percentage we get,

= 3/8 x 100

= 37.5%

Home work left for neha = (100-73) = 27% = 27/100

Hence, Minakshi finished greater percentage of homework.
