Answer to Problem 61CCR

The most favorite activity is watching movies with $\frac{3}{5}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

It is given in the question that in a family, $35\%$ of the people playing games, $\frac{3}{5}$ enjoy watching movies, and $\frac{3}{8}$ enjoy sports.

Concept Used:

In this, use the concept of converting percentage into fraction and also know to compare the numbers.

Calculation:

Here,

Playing games, $35\%=\frac{35}{100}=0.35$

Watching movies , $\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{6}{10}=0.6$

Enjoying Sports, $\frac{5}{8}=0.375$ (performing long division)

Now, compare the above three:

  $\begin{array}{l}0.35<0.375<0.6\\ 35\%<\frac{3}{8}<\frac{3}{5}\\ 7\%+15\%=25\end{array}$

Conclusion:

The most favorite activity is watching movies.
