Answer:
21 questions
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Wrong : Right = 2:7[/tex]
Required
Determine the number of correct answers if he answered 6 wrongly
The required ratio can be represented as:
[tex]Wrong : Right = 6 : X[/tex]
Where X represents number of right answers for 6 wrong answers.
Next, we equate both ratios:
[tex]6:X = 2:7[/tex]
Convert to fraction
[tex]\frac{6}{X} = \frac{2}{7}[/tex]
Cross Multiply
[tex]X * 2 = 6 * 7[/tex]
[tex]2X = 42[/tex]
Divide through by 2
[tex]X = 21[/tex]
Hence, he answered 21 correctly
