So, we have the percentage she gets which is, 90% and the number of questions she answers correctly, which is 27

To find the number of questions in the exam, make an equation
(90% = $\frac{90}{100}$ = 0.9)
$\frac{90}{100}$ = $\frac{27}{x}$
cross multiply and equate them
90x = 27 x 100
90x = 2700
divide by 90 on either sides to isolate x in order to find the answer
$\frac{90x}{90} = \frac{2700}{90}$
90 and 90 cancels out
x = 30
So your final answer will be, there were 30 questions in the exam paper.

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} hours&pages\\ \cline{1-2} 12&360\\ x&400 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{12}{x}=\cfrac{360}{400}\implies \cfrac{12}{x}=\cfrac{9}{10} \\\\\\ 120=9x\implies \cfrac{120}{9}=x\implies \cfrac{40}{3}=x\implies 13.\overline{3}=x$

If a is a negative number, then a(1/a) is equal to -1. If a is a negative number and b is a negative number, then product ab is

Firdavs [7]

Both claims are false. In fact, $a$ and $\frac{1}{a}$ are one the multiplicative inverse of the other. This means, by definition of multiplicative inverse, that
