Answer 6

So you have 85/100 for the first test and 26/30 for the second test.
Reduce fractions to find a common denominator easier:

85 5 17
--- ÷ -- = --
100 5 20


26 2 13
-- ÷ -- = --
30 2 15


You would want to get a common denominator of 60. So numerator and denominator of 17/20 by 3 and multiply the numerator and denominator of 13/15 by 4.

85/100 = 17/20 =
26/30 = 13/15 =
