Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two number lines with four ticks marked on them at equal distances. The first number line, labeled points scored, has the first, second, and fourth ticks marked as 0, 5, and 75, respectively. The second number line, labeled correct answers, has the first two ticks marked as 0 and 1, respectively.
The double number line shows 5 points are scored for each correct answer. What is the number of correct answers when 75 points are scored?
(1 point)

To find the number of correct answers when 75 points are scored, we need to find the corresponding tick on the "points scored" number line and then look at the corresponding tick on the "correct answers" number line.
Based on the information given, we can see that the first tick on the "points scored" number line is marked as 0, and the second tick is marked as 5. This means that there is a difference of 5 points between each tick on the "points scored" number line.
Since the third tick on the "points scored" number line is not given, but the fourth tick is marked as 75, we can infer that each tick represents a difference of 5 points. Therefore, the third tick would be at 70 points (since 70 + 5 = 75).
We can now look at the corresponding tick on the "correct answers" number line. The first tick is marked as 0, and the second tick is marked as 1. This means that there is a difference of 1 correct answer between each tick on the "correct answers" number line.
Since each tick on the "points scored" number line represents a difference of 5 points, and each tick on the "correct answers" number line represents a difference of 1 correct answer, we can infer that for every 5 points scored, there is 1 correct answer.
Therefore, if 75 points are scored, we can divide 75 by 5 to find the number of correct answers: 75 / 5 = 15.
So, the number of correct answers when 75 points are scored is 15.
To answer the question, we need to determine the number of correct answers when 75 points are scored.
From the information given in the image, we can see that for every correct answer, 5 points are scored.
By dividing the total number of points scored (75) by the number of points scored per correct answer (5), we can find the number of correct answers.
So, 75 divided by 5 equals 15.
Therefore, the number of correct answers when 75 points are scored is 15.
To find the number of correct answers when 75 points are scored, we need to locate the point on the "points scored" number line that corresponds to 75. From the illustration, we can see that 75 points are marked on the fourth tick of the "points scored" number line.
Next, we need to find the corresponding tick on the "correct answers" number line. We can see that the ticks on the "correct answers" number line represent the number of correct answers. From the illustration, we can see that the first tick on the "correct answers" number line represents 0 correct answers and the second tick represents 1 correct answer.
Since each correct answer is worth 5 points, we can determine that the fourth tick on the "points scored" number line represents 75 points, which means that there are 4 correct answers.
Therefore, the number of correct answers when 75 points are scored is 4.
