LESSON 2 Fractions and Decimals

Good Sports

Janet and her cousin Lee Yah are in fifth grade in two different schools. They like the same kind of books and clothes. However, they disagree about one topic—sports.

After an argument about soccer and volleyball, Aunt Carol suggested that they each take a survey of their classmates' favorite sports. Later, Aunt Carol found an article that said that baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and volleyball are the 5 most popular sports in high school. The girls agreed to use these sports for their survey. The survey results are below.
