Rita is spending more time at home to study and practice math. Her efforts are finally paying off. On her first assessment she scored 58 points, then she scores 63 and 68 on her next two assessments. If her scores continued to increase at the same rate, on which assessments will she be scoring above 85? Select all that apply.
looks like her marks are going up 5 per test.
so ...
58 63 68 73 ......
count to decide when you go over 85
It’s 7 and up
Thank you for the answer. I really needed it for my home work.
To determine on which assessments Rita will be scoring above 85, we need to find the pattern in her scores and see when it reaches or exceeds 85.
Rita's scores are increasing by 5 points each time, as seen in the sequence: 58, 63, 68.
To find out on which assessments she will score above 85, we can continue this pattern by adding 5 to each subsequent score.
Let's calculate the next few scores:
Assessment 1: 58
Assessment 2: 58 + 5 = 63
Assessment 3: 63 + 5 = 68
Assessment 4: 68 + 5 = 73
Assessment 5: 73 + 5 = 78
Assessment 6: 78 + 5 = 83
Assessment 7: 83 + 5 = 88
Based on this pattern, Rita will be scoring above 85 on Assessment 7. Therefore, the correct answer is:
- Assessment 7
