Answer 1

Answer: ( . = multiplication sign)

1. 24

2. 4 questions

3. 3 questions

Explanation:

1. You first need to find how many points each part was worth. To do this, you need to find the lowest common multiple for 6 and 8. The lowest common multiple is 24.

2. Part A has questions that were each worth 6 points so, you need to find the value of X in this equation: X . 6 = 24 .

The value of X is 4.

3. Part B had questions that were 8 points each so you need to find the value of X in this equation: X . 8 = 24 .

X = 3
