Sorry if I may be bugging you,but this homework is veryy hard for me!Karen gets 6 out of every 8 questions on a test correct.If she gets 27 questions correct,how many questions are on the test?
Cross multiply and solve for x.
6/8 = 27/x
6 over 8 , 27 over x : 8x27= 216, 216 divided by 6= 36. Answer: 36 questions
36
No problem at all! I'm here to help you.
To find the total number of questions on the test, we can set up a proportion based on the information given. Let's call the total number of questions on the test "x".
We know that Karen gets 6 out of every 8 questions correct. So, we can set up the proportion:
6/8 = 27/x
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
6x = 8 * 27
Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x:
x = (8 * 27) / 6
Multiplying 8 by 27 gives us 216, and then dividing by 6 gives us the final answer:
x = 36
Therefore, there are 36 questions on the test.
