1. nazira and dayanna were in a competition to see who could read the most in a month. nazira read 6 books in 4 days and dayanna read 5 books in 3 days. who is reading faster? how do you know?

Explanation:

5a.

Step1: Find total flowers

Total flowers = Roses + Daisies = \( 4 + 6 = 10 \).

Step2: Calculate percent of roses

Percent of roses = \( \frac{\text{Roses}}{\text{Total}} \times 100 = \frac{4}{10} \times 100 = 40\% \).

Step1: Find total flowers

Total flowers = \( 4 + 6 = 10 \) (same as 5a).

Step2: Calculate percent of daisies

Percent of daisies = \( \frac{\text{Daisies}}{\text{Total}} \times 100 = \frac{6}{10} \times 100 = 60\% \).

Step1: Find the ratio of Pens to Pencils

Ratio of Pens to Pencils = \( \frac{1}{3} \) (from first column: 1 Pen, 3 Pencils).

Step2: Find Pencils for 2 Pens

For 2 Pens, Pencils = \( 2 \times 3 = 6 \) (since ratio is 1:3).

Step3: Find Pens for 9 Pencils

For 9 Pencils, Pens = \( \frac{9}{3} = 3 \) (inverse of the ratio).

Answer:

\( 40\% \)
