Question

In a school, a student's grade increases one level for every three books they read. If they read 12 books, what grade level will they reach?

A) Same grade level
B) One level higher
C) Two levels higher
D) Three levels higher

Answer 1

Dividing the total number of books read (12) by the number of books required to increase a grade level (3), results in four full sets. Thus, the student's grade level will increase by four levels.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, we need to calculate how many grade levels a student will increase if they read 12 books, given that every three books they read increases their grade level by one.

Let's do the math: for every set of three books read, the student goes up one grade level. To find out how many full sets of three books there are in 12 books, we divide 12 by 3, which equals 4. This means the student will go up by four grade levels after reading 12 books. Therefore, the correct answer is D) Three levels higher.
