Answer :
1. 56 marks are scored on right answers, so number of questions answered correctly = 56 / 2 = 28
Number of questions answered incorrectly = - 2 marks / -1 = 2
total number of questions : 28+2= 30
2. N = 40
English = 40 * 1/5 = 8
Maths = 40 * 2/5 = 16
Science = 40 - 8 - 16 = 16
Fraction for science = 16/40 = 2/5
3) Trunk = 27.6 kg Suitcase = T * 5/6 = 27.6 * 5/6 = 23 kg
Bags = Suitcase * 1/8 = 23/8 = 2.875 kg
Suitcase + Bag = 25.875 kg = Suitcase ( 1 + 1/8) = 23 * 9/8 kg
4) - 57 x (-19) + 57
-57 ( -19 - 1 ) = -57 * -20 = 1140
Property we used here is the distributive property (of numbers) of multiplication over addition (or subtraction).
