Question

Can some one help me do this ;p

Answer 1

Answer:

OPTION D: Between 7.33 and 7.34

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum score is 10. So, the marks for her mistakes would be deducted from 10.

Since, Maya has made 8 mistakes and each mistake costs her $\frac{1}{3}$ marks.

For 8 mistakes, she would lose $8 \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{8}{3}$ marks.

Hence, the total marks she would get would be: $10 - \frac{8}{3} = \frac{30 - 8}{3} = \frac{22}{3}$

= 7. 333... (approx...)

Hence, the value should be between 7. 33 and 7 . 34.

OPTION D is the correct answer.
