Answer 2

Kate will not get any award. Priya will get the bronze award and Nora will get the gold award.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the percentage.

Given:

Kate got marks in mathematics competition= 40

Priya got marks in mathematics competition = 46

Nova got marks in mathematics competition = 49

            Percentage = $\frac{marks}{total \\ marks}$ x 100

Kate = $\frac{40 \times 100}{60}$ = 66.66%

Priya = $\frac{46 \times 100}{60}$ = 76.66%

Nova = $\frac{49 \times 100}{60}$ = 81.66%
