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 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.
