Omitted / Incomplete Question : Judy has read 4 Less than three times as many as Jason

Answer:Jason has read  7 mystery novels and Judy has read  17 mystery novels

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of mystery books read by  Jason and Judy =24

Let Number of mystery books read by Jason=x

and  Number of mystery books read by Judy= 3x-4

So that the total number of book read by both of them will be expressed as

x +(3x-4) =24

x +3x-4 =24

4x=24+4

4x=28

x=28/4=7

There fore  Jason has read  7 mystery novels

and Judy = 3x-4 = 3 X 7- 4 =21-4=17mystery novels

<h3>Given information;</h3>

The number darts hit the target is 6.

<h3>Dartboard</h3>

Dartboard is a circular board marked with numbered segments used as a target in the game of darts.

In a dartboard there are 4 different types of scoring,

  • Bull's eye- When the dart hits the center of the dartboard with 9 points.
  • 2nd circle- When the dart hits the second circle with 7 points.
  • 3rd circle-When the dart hits the third circle with 5 points.
  • Outer circle- When the dart hits the last circle of the dartboard with 1 points.

If all the dart hit the target the score must be equal to or more than 6 and less than or equal to the 54. Thus the option 1 and 4 is incorrect. 29 and 31 also can be eliminates as the sum of the odd number must be even.

Thus Sara can score 24 with 6 darts which all hits the target.
