Answer:

72 Wrong, so find how many are right with 135 total

Step-by-step explanation:

It's similar to saying if she answered half and this continued how many would she have answered after answering a bigger number, you would say half.

so she answered 8/15 incorrectly a a smaller number, so she will answer that ratio with a bigger number.  If it helps 8/15 is about 53%. just like 1/2 is half.  So to find half you would multiply something by 1/2 and int he same way you multiply something by 8/15 to get that proportion of it.

so 135, if you take this 53%, or simply multiply it by 8/15 you get your answer of 72.  So 72 wrong so al others are right, which you get with 135-72 = 63.

You could also do 135*(1-8/15) = 135 * 7/15.  if you ever want to find something NOT part of the proportion you do 1 - that proportion.

vlada-n [284]
The error made was in step two because you do not add 1 and 48, you subtract. this would result in "no solution" since you can't find the square root of a negative number
