PLEASE I NED SOMEONE TO HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION

Answer:

a) 12 points

b) A: 3 questions; B: 2 questions

Explanation:

The least number of points each section may have is the least common multiple of 4 and 6. That is a number that will have all of the factors of 4 and all of the factors of 6: 2×2×3 = 12.

a)

Each part is worth 12 points.

b)

Part A has 12/4 = 3 questions.

Part B has 12/6 = 2 questions.
