Question

Katie has already taken 28 quizzes during past quarters, and she expects to have 2 quizzes during each week of this quarter. How many weeks of school will Katie have to attend this quarter before she will have taken a total of 34 quizzes?

A) 3 weeks
B) 4 weeks
C) 5 weeks
D) 6 weeks

Answer 1

Katie needs to take 6 more quizzes to reach 34. Since she takes 2 quizzes per week, it will take her 3 weeks to achieve this total.

Step-by-step explanation:

The content loaded question asks how many weeks Katie will need to attend school this quarter to total 34 quizzes if she has already taken 28 quizzes during past quarters and expects to have 2 quizzes each week this quarter. To solve this, we calculate the remaining quizzes Katie needs to take to reach 34, which is 34 - 28 = 6 quizzes. Since Katie expects to have 2 quizzes per week, we divide the total quizzes needed by the quizzes per week to find the number of weeks required: 6 quizzes ÷ 2 quizzes/week = 3 weeks. Therefore, Katie will have to attend 3 weeks of school this quarter before she will have taken a total of 34 quizzes.

The correct answer to the question is: A) 3 weeks.
