Respuesta :

to solve this, we need to write the three fractions with the same denominator.

We need a common factor of 5, 4 and 10. We can use 20

Then:

For Thursday

[tex]\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\cdot4}{5\cdot4}=\frac{12}{20}[/tex]

For Friday:

[tex]\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3\cdot5}{4\cdot5}=\frac{15}{20}[/tex]

For Saturday:

[tex]\frac{7}{10}=\frac{7\cdot2}{10\cdot2}=\frac{14}{20}[/tex]

Now we can compare them, because they have the same denominator. The bigger fraction is the one that has the bigger numerator.

[tex]\frac{12}{20}<\frac{14}{20}<\frac{15}{20}[/tex]

In this case, the bigger numerator is 15, which corresponds to the Friday.

The answer is: The show with the most viewers in wheelchairs was Friday
