ANSWER

7 (Option D)

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

Number of times the traffic light Green = 6

Number of times the traffic light Yellow = 2

Number of times the traffic light Red = ?

Desired Outcome:

Number of times the traffic light Red

Total number of times for the traffic lights


\begin{gathered} \text{ Total times = Times for traffic light Red + Times for traffic light Green + Times for traffic light Yellow} \\ 15=Red+6+2 \\ 15=Red+8 \\ substract\text{ 8 from both sides} \\ 15-8=Red+8-8 \\ \text{ Times for traffic light Red = 7} \end{gathered}

Hence, the number of times the traffic light Red was 7.
