A biology test is worth 100 points and has 36 questions.

a. Multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points each and essay questions are worth 6 points each. How many questions of each type are on the test?

b. Your friend says that it is possible for the multiple-choice questions to be worth 4 points each. Is your friend correct? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 7 essays and 29 multiple questions

(b) Your friend is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent multiple choice with M and essay with E.

So:

[tex]M + E= 36[/tex] --- Number of questions

[tex]2M + 6E = 100[/tex] --- Points

Solving (a): Number of question of each type.

Make E the subject of formula in [tex]M + E= 36[/tex]

[tex]E = 36 - M[/tex]

Substitute 36 - M for E in [tex]2M + 6E = 100[/tex]

[tex]2M + 6(36 - M) = 100[/tex]

[tex]2M + 216 - 6M = 100[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]2M - 6M = 100 - 216[/tex]

[tex]-4M = - 116[/tex]

Divide both sides by -4

[tex]M = \frac{-116}{-4}[/tex]

[tex]M = 29[/tex]

Substitute 29 for M in [tex]E = 36 - M[/tex]

[tex]E = 36 - 29[/tex]

[tex]E = 7[/tex]

Solving (b): Can the multiple questions worth 4 points each?

It is not possible.

See explanation.

If multiple question worth 4 points each, then

[tex]2M + 6E = 100[/tex] would be:

[tex]4M + xE = 100[/tex]

Where x represents the number of points for essay questions.

Substitute 7 for E and 29 for M.

[tex]4 * 29 + x * 7 = 100[/tex]

[tex]116 + 7x = 100[/tex]

Subtract 116 from both sides

[tex]116-116 + 7x = 100 -116[/tex]

[tex]7x = 100-116[/tex]

[tex]7x = -16[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = -\frac{16}{7}[/tex]

Since the essay question can not have worth negative points.

Then, it is impossible to have the multiple questions worth 4 points

Your friend is incorrect.

Answer 2

The test contained 29 multiple choice questions and 7 essay questions.

Let x represent the number of multiple questions and y represent the number of essay questions.

Given that there are a total of 36 questions, hence:

x + y = 36    (1)

Also, the test is worth a total of 100 points, hence:

2x + 6y = 100   (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 29, y = 7

Therefore the test contained 29 multiple choice questions and 7 essay questions.

Paul says that the grids show 150%.
Rebecca says that they show 75%
How could each be correct?​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  Paul is using 1 grid = 100%; Rebecca is using 2 grids = 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that a full grid and half of another are shaded.

If 1 grid is taken to be 100%, then the total amount shaded is 100% +50% = 150%, as Paul says.

__

If the two full grids are taken to be 100%, then the full shaded grid is 50% of the total, and the additional half-shaded grid is 25% of the total. That makes a total of 50% +25% = 75% of the total being shaded, as Rebecca says.

State the equation of the line which has the y-intercept :

a) 2 and slope 7 .
b) -1 and is parallel to y= 5x - 7.
c) 2 and is inclined at 45 degree to the x- axis. ​

Answers

Answer:

A general line is written as:

y = a*x + b

where:

a is the slope

b is the y-intercept.

a) y-intercept = 2 and slope = 7.

This line is:

y = 7*x + 2

b) y-intercept =  -1 and is parallel to y= 5x - 7.

Now, if two linear equations are parallel if they have the same slope and different y-intercept. Then if we want a line parallel to  y= 5x - 7, this means that the slope of this line must also be equal to 5.

y = 5*x + (-1)

c) y-intercept 2 and is inclined at 45° to the x- axis. ​

When we have an inclination of A degrees from the x-axis, the slope of the equation is given by: a = Tan(A)

In this case, we have A = 45°

Then the slope is a = Tan(45°) =  1

Then the equation of this line is:

y = 1*x + 2

2 Pumpkins / 15 Dollars

5 Pumpkins / 37.5 Dollars

10 Pumpkins / 75 Dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

2 pumpkins for 15 dollars

that is what we have to work with here

the first step would probably be to figure out how much one pumpkin is, so we should divide the amount that we spent by the amount of pumkins that we got, which would look like

15 / 2 = 7.5

so 1 pumpkin = 7.5 dollars

now, to figure out how many pumpkins you can buy with 37.5 dollars, you would divide the amount of money spent by the amount that each pumpkin costs, which turns out to be

37.5 / 7.5 = 5

Now, to figure out how much money you would need for 10 pumpkins, you would multiply the number of pumpkins by the cost of a single pumpkin, which ends up being

10 x 7.5 = 75
