Question

Leslie took a total of 40 quizzes over the course of 5 weeks. After attending 7 weeks of school this quarter, how many quizzes will Leslie have taken in total? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

56 quizzes

Explanation:

40 quizzes = 5 weeks

To find the unit rate of quizzes / week, we can divide both sides by 5

40/5 quizzes = 5/5 weeks

8 quizzes = 1 week

Multiply both sides by 7 to find the amount of quizzes in 7 weeks

8 * 7 quizzes = 1 * 7 weeks

56 quizzes = 7 weeks
