Problem that compares 0.4 and 0.29

Answer 1

40% of the students study Spanish

29% of the students study French

Which group is larger, the group of students who study Spanish,

or the group of students who study French?

How many percentage points is the difference.

Spanish: 40% = 0.4 = 0.40

French: 29% = 0.29

40% = 0.40 > 0.29 = 29% , so there are more students studying Spanish..

0.40 - 0.29 = 0.11 = 11% difference
