A multiple-choice test contains 10 questions. There are four possible answers for each question. a) In how many ways can a student answer the questions on the test if the student answers every question

Answer :

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a multiple-choice test contains 10 questions and there are 4 possible answers for each question.

∴ Answers=4 options for each question.

Solving this by product rule

Product rule :

If one event can occur in m ways and a second event occur in n ways, the number of ways of two events can occur in sequence is then m.n

From the given the event of choosing the answer of each question having 4 options is given by

The 1st event of picking the answer of the 1st question=4 ,

2nd event of picking the answer of the 2nd question=4 ,

3rd event of picking the answer of the 3rd question=4

,....,

10th event of picking the answer of the 10th question=4.

It can be written as  by using the product rule

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
