Question

Johnathan works on IXL 5 nights per week. One week, he masters 7 skills. If he makes the same amount of progress each night, how many skills does he master per night?Use Linear Equation. Then, solve.

Answer 1

We are told that Johnathan works on IXL and learns new skills per week.

If Johnathan learns x new skills and he works y nights per week, the number of skills he masters per night, N, can be gotten using the equation:

`N=(x)/(y)`

From the question, we know that Johnathan works 5 nights per week and masters 7 skills over the week. This means that, for our equation, we have the following parameters:

`\begin{gathered} x=7 \\ y=5 \end{gathered}`

Hence, we can calculate the number of skills mastered per night to be:

`N=(7)/(5)=1.4`

Therefore, Johnathan masters 1.4 skills per night.
