The first thing we need to do is take in all this information. We already know that the answer is between 0 and 7 because Line Segment AC is equal to 7. Second of all, it is recommended to solve this problem on paper to make it easier. You write the measurement under each individual Line Segment. Now we have to try to find a way how to subtract the Line Segments in order to get the measurement of Line Segment BC. If we were to write an equation. We would get mAB + mBC + mCD + mDE = mAE . We now try to think about the values that they give us to try to simplify it as much as possible. That's all that I can give you. I am sorry. This is a pretty tough and evil question.
16:24 students made at least 80% on the test. The question is what is the ratio of students who scored below an 80% to the total number of students. 8:24 would be the right answer, but since it is asking for the answer in the simplest form, it would be 1:3.
