Full solution

Q. Last year, 15\frac{1}{5} of Sandeep's friends learned how to ride bikes, while 35%35\% of Derek's friends learned how to ride bikes. Who had a greater percentage of friends who learned how to ride bikes last year?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) Sandeep\newline(B) Derek
  1. Convert Fraction to Percentage: Convert Sandeep's fraction to a percentage.\newlineCalculation: 15×100%=20% \frac{1}{5} \times 100\% = 20\%
  2. Compare Percentages: Compare Sandeep's and Derek's percentages. Calculation: Sandeep = 20%20\%, Derek = 35%35\%
  3. Determine Greater Percentage: Determine who had a greater percentage.\newlineSince 35%35\% (Derek) is greater than 20%20\% (Sandeep), Derek had a greater percentage of friends who learned how to ride bikes.
