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) Responses 15 15 26 26 25 25 16

Answer 1

To find the number of correct answers scored when 75 points are achieved, you can use the relationship between points and correct answers.

Since each correct answer scores 5 points, you can set up the following equation:

\[ \text{Points} = \text{Correct Answers} \times 5 \]

Let \( x \) be the number of correct answers. Then:

\[ 75 = x \times 5 \]

To solve for \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 5:

\[ x = \frac{75}{5} = 15 \]

Therefore, the number of correct answers is \( \boxed{15} \).
