Answer:
44 questions
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1: She got 16 questions correct, which was 4/5 of the number of part 1 questions.
Let x = total number of questions in part 1
4/5x = 16
Divide both sides by 4/5
x = 16 ÷ 4/5
= 16 × 5/4
= 20
x = 20
There are 20 questions in part 1
She got 16 questions correct, which was 2/3 of the number of part 2 questions.
Let y = number of questions in part 2
2/3y = 16
Divide both sides by 2/3
y = 16 ÷ 2/3
= 16 × 3/2
= 24
y = 24
There are 24 questions in part 2
The total number of questions on Stephanie’s exam = part 1 + part 2
= 20 + 24
= 44 questions
