Question

Suppose a teacher finds that the

scores her students got on a quiz
varied inversely with the number of
absences they had.
If a student with 2 absences got a
score of 12, what would be the score
for a student who had 3 absences?​

Answer 1

Answer: 8

Explanation:

Answer 2

If a student with 2 absences got a score of 12, we can affirm that the student got 6 points for every absence she or he had.

Therefore, if a student had 3 absences and the results varied inversely with the number of absences they had, it means that her or his score would be: 3 * 6 = 18 points.

The correct answer is 18 points.
