In the music hall, there are 20 boxes:

Let’s find out which day has the most occupied space of the music hall.

Thursday 2/5 = 6/20

Friday = 2/4 = 7/20

Saturday = 8/10 = 10/20

We converted it to have the same denominator.

Thurs 2/5 were occupied

=> 6/20 = 0.3

=> 20 0.3 = 6 boxes

Friday 2/4 were occupied

=> 7/20 = 0.35

=> 20
0.35 = 7 boxes

Saturday 8/10 were occupied.

=> 10/20 = 0.5

=> 20 * .5 = 10 boxes

Saturday got the most occupied boxes.
