Answer:
3 and half 3 ½ is it correct??
Step-by-step explanation:
I think so
Answer:
marks Nalini scored= (-7)
marks given for every correct answer= 3
marks provided for every incorrect answer= (-2)
marks provided for not attempting a question= 0
number of questions answered correctly= 9
number of questions answered incorrectly=?
to find the number of questions answered incorrectly we should substract 9 by (-2) till we get (-7)
like this
3+ 3= 6
6+ 3= 9
9 - 2= 7
7 - 2= 5
5 - 2= 3
3 - 2= 1
1 - 2= -1
now when we substract a negative number with a negative number we should add the numbers and put the minus sign
-1 - 2= -3
-3 - 2= -5
-5 - 2= -7
Nalini answered 11 questions and out of that she got 8 questions incorrect
