Question

In speech class, you lose 3 points for every 30 seconds

you go over the time limit. Your speech is 90 seconds over
the time limit. What integer represents the change in
your points? (Section 1.4)

Answer 1

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of an integer is a number that is a whole number. In this scenario, you are going 90 seconds over the time limit, and you lose 3 points for every 30 seconds you go over the time limit. To find the integer, I simply multiplied 3 by 3. 3 represents the amount of points you are losing per 30 seconds, and the other 3 represents the amount of times you lose points. You would thus get 9.

Answer 2

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If you lose 3 points for every 30 seconds you go over the time limit, and your speech is 90 seconds over the time limit, you multiply 90*3 which would give you 270 points.
