Question

Represent each scenario as a multiplication or division problem. Then, solve the problem. 2. Lina missed 8 questions on her science final, which changed her final score by -32 points. If each question is weighted equally, how many points did she lose for each question?

Answer 1

The problem is represented by a division.

She lost 4 points for each missed question

Explanation:

If Lina lost a total of 32 points in 8 questions weighted equally, to find out how many points she lost per question, we should divide the total number of points lost (32) by the number of questions she missed (8).

This will give us the number of points lost per each missed question:

Points lost per question =
`(32)/(8) = 4`

So this is clearly a division problem.
