Question

Ms. Murphy wrote a test. Part A had true/false questions, each worth 6 points. Part B had multiple choice questions, each worth 4 points. She made the number of points for Part A equal the number of points for Part B. It was the least number of points for which this was possible. Answer the following questions. How many questions did Part A have? How many questions did Part B have? How many points was each part worth?

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A had 2 questions, Part B had 3 questions, 12 points for each part

Step-by-step explanation:

part A has each question worth 6 points and part B had each question worth 4 points. They have the same number of points and it has the least amount of possible points possible. This means that both parts have to have the lowest common multiple. So that is 12 and to get to 12 from 6 you multiply by 2 and from 4 to 12 it's multiplied by 3.
