Marty says the probability of the high school team winning the hockey game is 35%. Karim says the probability is 2/5. Who thinks the event is more likely, Marty or Karim?
Explain

Karim

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Turn 2/5 into a percentage by multiplying the numerator and denominators of 2/5 with 20 so the new fraction's denominator can be 100.

2. Your new fraction should be 40/100 also known as 40%.

3. Compare who's probability is more likely.

4. The answer will be (40%) Karim's.

Karim

Step-by-step explanation:

35% is equivalent to 0.35, whereas 2/5 is equivalent to 0.40.  Karim is correct; 0.40 represents a greater probability than does 0.35.
