    Answer: Greek language had a greater fraction of students taking the placement exam

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Yesterday, 5/7 of the Latin students took the Latin placement exam. This implies that 5/7 = 0.714 of the total number of Latin students took the Latin placement exam

    64 out of 89 Greek students took the Greek placement exam. This means that 64/68 = 0.719 of the total number of Greek students took the Greek placement exam.

    0.719 is a higher fraction than 0.714.

    If we express both in percentage (multiplying by 100)

    Latin students would be 0.714*100 = 71.4%

    Greek students would be 0.719*100=71.9%

    Greek language had a greater fraction or percentage of students taking the Greek placement exam
