Final answer:

Anna took 6 quizzes in 2 weeks, establishing a unit rate of 3 quizzes per week. After 5 weeks, she will have taken a total of 3 quizzes/week × 5 weeks = 15 quizzes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about a rate problem under the topic of mathematics, specifically regarding unit rates. To calculate the total number of quizzes Anna will have taken after 5 weeks, one must first determine the rate at which she is taking quizzes. As the question states, Anna took a total of 6 quizzes over the course of 2 weeks. This creates a unit rate of 3 quizzes per week (6 quizzes ÷ 2 weeks).

Given this unit rate, we can then extrapolate for the following 5 weeks. To find out how many quizzes Anna will have taken in 5 weeks, we simply multiply the unit rate by the total number of weeks:

  1. Multiply the unit rate (3 quizzes/week) by the number of weeks (5 weeks).
  2. This equals to 15 quizzes (3 quizzes/week × 5 weeks).

Therefore, after attending school for 5 weeks, Anna will have taken a total of 15 quizzes.
