During a soccer game, Erin scored 1 out of 3 goals attempted. Lauren scored 2 out of 8 goals attempted. Write the fraction that represents each and compare. Who was the most successful?

Sorry Ornstein but you are not on the right track.

You have to make the denominators the same so that you can compare them.

Erin 1/3=4/12

Lauren 2/8=1/4=3/12

4/12 is more than 3/12 so Erin is the most successful.
