If sally got 28 questions correct and received 70% on the exam, how many questions were on the exam

Mathematics

1 answer:

Furkat [3]2 years ago

7 0

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of correct questions Sally got = 28 questions

Percentage of correct questions answered= 70% on the exam,

Total number of questions in the exam = Unknown

Let the total questions in the exam be represented as y.

Since Sally got 70% correctly, this will be:

70% of y = 28

70/100 × y = 28

0.7 × y = 28

0.7y = 28

Divide both side by 0.7

0.7y/0.7 = 28/0.7

y = 40

There are 40 questions in the exam.

The 8th term of a GP is -7/32 find its common ratio if its first term is 28

Ugo [173]

<h2>Common ratio = -1/2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{8}^{th}$ term of a Geometric progression is given as $\dfrac{-7}{32}$ . The first term is given as $28$ .

Any general Geometric progression can be represented using the series $a,ar,ar^{2},ar^{3},ar^{4}...\text{ }ar^{n-1}$ .

The first term in such a GP is given by $a$ , common ratio by $r$ , and the $n^{th}$ term is given by $ar^{n-1}$ .

In the given GP, $a=28;t_{8}=ar^{7}=\dfrac{-7}{32}\\\\28r^{7}=\dfrac{-7}{32}\\\\r^{7}=\dfrac{-1}{128}\\\\r=\dfrac{-1}{2}$

∴ Common ratio is $\dfrac{-1}{2}$ .
