The correct answer would be B
7/2 is the reciprocal of 2/7
Answer:
There is a total 50 questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = total questions in the exam
Since 82% of the test was scored correctly, that means 18% of the student's exam was scored incorrectly.
With this information we can write:
(Given that the student made 9 mistakes)
(divide 18% on both sides)

∴ There was a total of 50 questions in the examination.
A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece
a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2
a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft
b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft
longest piece (c) = 27 ft
