Caitlyn did \(\frac{6}{7}\) of the problems on her quiz correctly and 4 incorrectly. She completed all the problems. How many problems were there in total?
Answer (3)
It's simple you've been told that correct answers equals 6/7 and she did all the questions. Therefore the incorrect answers equals 1/7, which is 4. So just times 4 by 7. 4 x 7 = 28. 28 questions on the quiz.
To determine the total number of problems on Caitlyn's quiz, we can use the information given about the fraction of problems she did correctly and the number of problems she did incorrectly. Caitlyn solved 6/7 of the problems correctly, so the total number of problems can be represented by 7 parts of which Caitlyn did 6 parts correctly. According to the question, Caitlyn did 4 problems incorrectly, which means these are the remaining 1/7 of the total problems. To find the total number, we can set up the equation: 1/7 of total problems = 4. This allows us to calculate the total number of problems by multiplying 4 by 7, the denominator representing the total parts.
Mathematically, we represent this as:
1/7 of total problems = 4
Total problems = 4 times 7 = 28
Therefore, there were 28 problems on the quiz.
Caitlyn completed a total of 28 problems on her quiz. She answered 7 6 of them correctly and had 4 incorrect answers. To find the total, we set up an equation using her incorrect answers as 7 1 of the total problems.
