Math question!

At one school 68/130 kids who applied got in. At another school 123/200 kids who applied got in.
At which school would you have a better chance of getting into? 

*show your final answer with a percentage*

  1. it's impossible to show in percent's because 200 divided by 2= 100 and 123 divided by 2= 62.5 and you can't have a percent with a decimal but, the easier school to get in to is the second school if the same events happen again

  2. Actually Caitlin, its very easy if you divide numerator by denominator and multiply the decimal by 100... the second school is 10% easier to get into. 52% vs 62% (61.5%)
