42/7=6

Answer 2

6 weeks

Explanation:

Easier way to solve: If she takes 7 quizzes each week, 7 times something (amount of weeks) equals 42.

7 X 6 = 42

Solving with algebra: We know that hanna takes six quizzes a week and takes a total of 42 quizzes, therefore the unknown (x) is the amount of weeks she takes the quizzes.

Amount of weeks X amount of tests per weeks = 42 quizzes

x X 7 = 42

42/7 = 6
