Answer 1

36 correct answers

Explanation:

Given that,

The ratio of the number of problems Josie got incorrect to the number of problems she got correct is 2:9.

Josie missed 8 questions

Let incorrect answers be 2x and that of correct answers be 9x.

ATQ,

2x = 8

x = 4

Correct answers = 9x

= 9(4)

= 36

Hence, she will get 36 correct answers.
