Let's assume that Bernard answered x questions correctly.
He also answered (20 - x) questions incorrectly.
According to the given information, the total score he obtained is 0, so we can write the equation:
6x - 4(20 - x) = 0
6x - 80 + 4x = 0
10x - 80 = 0
10x = 80
x = 8
Therefore, Bernard answered 8 questions correctly.
Let's assume that Raymond answered x questions correctly.
According to the given information, he also answered x questions incorrectly.
The total score he obtained is 16, so we can write the equation:
6x - 4x = 16
2x = 16
x = 8
Therefore, Raymond answered 8 questions correctly.
Since the number of questions he answered correctly is the same as the questions he answered incorrectly, he answered a total of:
8 + 8 = 16 questions
There were 20 questions in total, so he left:
20 - 16 = 4 questions blank. Answer: \boxed{4}.
There were 20 questions in a quiz. For each question answered correctly, 6 points were awarded. For each question answered incorrectly, 4 points were deducted. For each question left blank, no points were awarded or deducted.
(a) Bernard answered all the questions in the quiz but obtained a score of zero. How
many questions did Bernard answer correctly?
(b) Raymond scored 16 for the quiz. The number of questions he answered correctly is the same as the questions he answered incorrectly. How many questions did he leave blank?

Chrissy went to the store to buy some art supplies. She spent 1/5 of her money on paint and 1/3 of her money on paper. What fraction of her money did she spend?(1 point) Responses 23 2 thirds 8/15 8 over 15 7/15 7 over 15 2/15
To determine the fraction of Chrissy's money that she spent, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions 1/5 and 1/3. The least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 3 is 15.
Now let's convert both fractions to have a denominator of 15:
1/5 = 3/15
1/3 = 5/15
Adding these fractions, we get:
3/15 + 5/15 = 8/15
Therefore, Chrissy spent 8/15 of her money.
Now let's convert both fractions to have a denominator of 15:
1/5 = 3/15
1/3 = 5/15
Adding these fractions, we get:
3/15 + 5/15 = 8/15
Therefore, Chrissy spent 8/15 of her money.
James and Luke took a three-day hike along the Appalachian Trail. The first day they hiked 416 miles, the second day they hiked 323 miles, and the third day they hiked 423 miles. What total distance did the boys hike? You must type your response as a simplified mixed number. To type your fraction, click the box below. Type the whole number first. Then, select the fraction button where you see an x to the left of a fraction bar. Use your mouse or the up and down arrows on your keyboard to move between the numerator and denominator. The link below is a screen shot of the button you want to select.
To find the total distance James and Luke hiked, we need to add up the distances they hiked each day.
416 miles (first day) + 323 miles (second day) + 423 miles (third day) = 1162 miles.
Therefore, the boys hiked a total distance of 1162 miles.
416 miles (first day) + 323 miles (second day) + 423 miles (third day) = 1162 miles.
Therefore, the boys hiked a total distance of 1162 miles.
James and Luke took a three-day hike along the Appalachian Trail. The first day they hiked 4 1/6 miles, the second day they hiked 3 2/3 miles, and the third day they hiked 4 2/3 miles. What total distance did the boys hike? You must type your response as a simplified mixed number. To type your fraction, click the box below. Type the whole number first. Then, select the fraction button where you see an x to the left of a fraction bar. Use your mouse or the up and down arrows on your keyboard to move between the numerator and denominator. The link below is a screen shot of the button you want to select.
To find the total distance James and Luke hiked, we need to add up the distances they hiked each day.
4 1/6 miles (first day) + 3 2/3 miles (second day) + 4 2/3 miles (third day)
Let's convert these mixed numbers to improper fractions:
4 1/6 = (4 * 6 + 1)/6 = 25/6
3 2/3 = (3 * 3 + 2)/3 = 11/3
4 2/3 = (4 * 3 + 2)/3 = 14/3
Now we can add these fractions:
25/6 + 11/3 + 14/3
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 6 in this case. So let's convert 11/3 and 14/3 to have a denominator of 6:
11/3 = (11 * 2)/ (3 * 2) = 22/6
14/3 = (14 * 2)/ (3 * 2) = 28/6
Now let's add these fractions:
25/6 + 22/6 + 28/6 = (25 + 22 + 28)/6 = 75/6
Since we need to express the answer as a simplified mixed number, let's divide the numerator by the denominator and express any remainder as a fraction:
75 ÷ 6 = 12 with a remainder of 3
So the total distance James and Luke hiked is 12 3/6 miles. To simplify this mixed number, we can reduce the fraction:
3/6 = 1/2
Therefore, the total distance they hiked is 12 1/2 miles.
4 1/6 miles (first day) + 3 2/3 miles (second day) + 4 2/3 miles (third day)
Let's convert these mixed numbers to improper fractions:
4 1/6 = (4 * 6 + 1)/6 = 25/6
3 2/3 = (3 * 3 + 2)/3 = 11/3
4 2/3 = (4 * 3 + 2)/3 = 14/3
Now we can add these fractions:
25/6 + 11/3 + 14/3
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 6 in this case. So let's convert 11/3 and 14/3 to have a denominator of 6:
11/3 = (11 * 2)/ (3 * 2) = 22/6
14/3 = (14 * 2)/ (3 * 2) = 28/6
Now let's add these fractions:
25/6 + 22/6 + 28/6 = (25 + 22 + 28)/6 = 75/6
Since we need to express the answer as a simplified mixed number, let's divide the numerator by the denominator and express any remainder as a fraction:
75 ÷ 6 = 12 with a remainder of 3
So the total distance James and Luke hiked is 12 3/6 miles. To simplify this mixed number, we can reduce the fraction:
3/6 = 1/2
Therefore, the total distance they hiked is 12 1/2 miles.
Charlie's horse, Star, was getting too heavy eating 3 1/2 pounds of horse feed twice a day. Charlie reduced Stars feed by 3/4 of a pound at each feeding. How much is Star now eating each day? You must type your response as a simplified mixed number. To type your fraction, click the box below. Type the whole number first. Then, select the fraction button where you see an x to the left of a fraction bar. Use your mouse or the up and down arrows on your keyboard to move between the numerator and denominator. The link below is a screen shot of the button you want to select.
To find out how much horse feed Star is now eating each day, we need to subtract the amount Charlie reduced from the original amount.
Original amount: 3 1/2 pounds twice a day
Amount reduced: 3/4 of a pound at each feeding
Let's convert the mixed number 3 1/2 to an improper fraction:
3 1/2 = (3 * 2 + 1)/2 = 7/2
So, the original amount of horse feed each day was 7/2 pounds.
Now, let's subtract 3/4 pounds from the original amount:
7/2 - 3/4 = (7 * 2 - 3)/4 = 11/4
Therefore, Star is now eating 11/4 pounds of horse feed each day.
To express this as a simplified mixed number, let's divide the numerator by the denominator and express any remainder as a fraction:
11 ÷ 4 = 2 with a remainder of 3
So the final answer is 2 3/4 pounds.
Therefore, Star is now eating 2 3/4 pounds of horse feed each day.
Original amount: 3 1/2 pounds twice a day
Amount reduced: 3/4 of a pound at each feeding
Let's convert the mixed number 3 1/2 to an improper fraction:
3 1/2 = (3 * 2 + 1)/2 = 7/2
So, the original amount of horse feed each day was 7/2 pounds.
Now, let's subtract 3/4 pounds from the original amount:
7/2 - 3/4 = (7 * 2 - 3)/4 = 11/4
Therefore, Star is now eating 11/4 pounds of horse feed each day.
To express this as a simplified mixed number, let's divide the numerator by the denominator and express any remainder as a fraction:
11 ÷ 4 = 2 with a remainder of 3
So the final answer is 2 3/4 pounds.
Therefore, Star is now eating 2 3/4 pounds of horse feed each day.
