Question

Trevon, Leah, and Beth are playing a computer game. Trevon scores -8. Beth’s score was 3/4 of trevons score, and Leah’s score was 1/4 of Beth’s score. What was Leah’s score

Answer 1

-8 = trevon

(3/4)-8 = beth
= -6

1/4[(3/4)-8] = leah
1/4(-6)
= -1.5

Answer 2

`-1.5`

Explanation:

We have been given that Beth's score is 3/4 of Trevon's score.

`\text{Beth's score}=-8* (3)/(4)`

`\text{Beth's score}=-2*3`

`\text{Beth's score}=-6`

We are also told that Leah’s score was 1/4 of Beth’s score.

`\text{Leah's score}=-6* (1)/(4)`

`\text{Leah's score}=-(3)/(2)`

`\text{Leah's score}=-1.5`

Therefore, Leah score was
`-1.5`.
