tim is excited because he thnks he got a higher score on a math test than his younger sister Lila.. Tim scored41 over 50 on his math test and Lila scored 21/25 on her most recent math test Tim thinks that because he got more questions correct that he got a better score. explain to Tim in your own words wisely the score is actually better than his you must convert both scores to fractions with 100 as denominators so you can think in terms of percentages

If Tim scored 41/50 and Lila scored 21/25, then if you were to convert both scores to fractions with 100, you would get that Tim made an 82/100 and Lila made an 84/100. This means that Lila actually scored 2% higher than Tim did.

Tim 41/50. Lila 21/25
To get the first fraction to ?/100 you need to divide the denominator (50) from 100, which you would get 2, so multiply the numerator by 2 to get 82%. Same with Lila, which would be 84%.  
"Tim, go get a calculator," is what I would say.
