Question

Percy took a total of 12 quizzes over the course of 4 weeks. How many weeks of school will Percy have to attend this quarter before he will have taken a total of 15 quizzes? Assume the relationship is directly

Answer 1

5 weeks

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the idea of proportionality. We know that the number of quizzes Percy takes is directly proportional to the number of weeks he attends school. This means that we can set up a proportion:

12 quizzes / 4 weeks = 15 quizzes / x weeks

We can cross-multiply to get the following:

12x = 60

Then we can solve for x:

x = 60/12 = 5

Therefore, Percy will have to attend 5 weeks of school to take a total of 15 quizzes.
