Question

Norma answered 3 out of 4 of thequestions on the mathematics benchmarkcorrectly. How many questions did she getcorrect out of 36 questions?

Answer 1

Norma answered correctly 3 out of every 4 questions in the mathematics benchmark.

This means that she answered correctly 3/4 of the mathematics benchmark.

Since the total number of questions is 36, we need to find how much is 3/4 out of 36.

We can find this by multiplying 3/4 by 36:

$\frac{3}{4}\times36$

To solve this operation, multiply 3 times 36 and then divide the result by 4:

$\frac{3\times36}{4}=\frac{108}{4}=27$

3/4 out of 36 is 27, thus, she answered 27 questions correctly.

Answer: 27
