Explanation:

Rita is spending more time at home to study and practice math.

Her efforts are finally paying off and we can perceive an increase in her assessments score.

We have the score of her first,second and third assessment :

`58,63,68`

We can see that each score is 5 more than the previously.

Therefore, we can estimate her scores in the next assessments by adding 5 points to each score :

`58,63,68,73,78,83,88,93,98`

In order to ask the question, we can see that her seventh, eighth and ninth score are above 85.

Finally, we can answer that if her scores continues increasing at the same rate, her seventh,eighth and ninth assessment will be above 85.
