Question

PLEASE I NED SOMEONE TO HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION

Ms. Evens wrote a test. Part A had true/false questions, each worth 4 points. Part B had multiple choice questions, each worth 6 points. She made the number of points for Part A equal the number of points for Part B. It was the least number of points for which this is possible.

How many points was each part worth.


How many questions did Part A have and How many questions did Part B have

Answer 1

a) 12 points

b) A: 3 questions; B: 2 questions

Explanation:

The least number of points each section may have is the least common multiple of 4 and 6. That is a number that will have all of the factors of 4 and all of the factors of 6: 2×2×3 = 12.

a)

Each part is worth 12 points.

b)

Part A has 12/4 = 3 questions.

Part B has 12/6 = 2 questions.
