Deanna gets 3 problems incorrect on her math quiz and scores 85%. How many questions were on the quiz?

Mathematics
1 answer:
katrin2010 [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There were 20 questions on the quiz

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with knowing the number of questions on a quiz, given that Deana had a certain percentage after scoring an amount of marks.

We proceed as follows;

Let the number of questions on the quiz be X.

Now, she got 85% by making 3 incorrect choices. This means the percentage of questions she got incorrectly would be 100-85 = 15%

what we are saying is that it is just 15% of her questions that were wrong.

This mathematically;

15% of x = 3

15/100 * x = 3

15x = 3 * 100

15x = 300

x = 300/15

x = 20

Jivesh brought his Model B rocket on a camping trip near the top of a mountain. He wants to model how it descends down the mount
dybincka [34]

Answer:

i. 1.63 s

ii. The negative time cannot be used in this context

Step-by-step explanation:

i. Since  h = −640t² and the rocket descends 1,690 m, h = -1,690 m (since there is a drop in height).

So,  h = -640t²

t² = h/-640

t = √(- h/640)

Substituting h into the equation, we have

t = √(- h/640)

t = √[-(-1,690)/640]

t = √2.640625

t = 1.625

t ≈ 1.63 s

ii. So, the negative time cannot be used in this context because, the height drop is negative.

lara31 [8.8K]
The averages did not match because of the number of grades calculated into the total average.  Let's say for example that the teacher in this case has 25 students in her class.  She would take the average of all 25 students' test grades.  Let's say that Paul has 4 friends with whom he averaged his test grade.  He has taken the average of 5 tests, whereas the teacher has calculated the total amount of student test scores (25).  Paul and his friends may have done better on that particular test than the other 20 students in the class, explaining the average of 95 that he got.  Other students who got B's or C's on that test pulled the total class average down, explaining the teacher's average of 83.
