Answer 1

the number of questions on Jeffrey's math test is 40.

We can start by using proportions to find the number of questions on Jeffrey's math test.

Let's let "x" be the total number of questions on the math test. Then, we know that Jeffrey correctly answered 80% of the questions, or 0.8x questions. We also know that he correctly answered 32 questions. So we can set up the following proportion:

0.8x = 32

To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 0.8:

x = 32 ÷ 0.8 = 40
