Question

Drew’s score on a math text was 92.He could earn an extra 1/2 point for each incorrect problem he corrected. Drew corrected 3 problems. On which number line does Point S best represent his new score?

Answer 1

Point S represent the score 93.5 which is Drew's New Score.

Explanation:

The score of Drew on a math test = 92

Point for each correction in the math test = 1/2 = 0.5

Now, the number of problems corrected = 3 x 0.5 = 1.5

So, Now, the new scale of Drew = Old Score + The Correction Score

= 92 + 1.5

= 93.5

or, Drew, new score = 93.5

Hence, point S represent the score 93.5 which is Drew's New Score.
