Question

Trevon, Leah, and Beth are playing a computer game. Trevon scores -8. Beth’s score was 3/4 of trevons score, and Leah’s score was 1/4 of Beth’s score. What was Leah’s score

Answer 1

-8 = trevon

(3/4)-8 = beth
= -6

1/4[(3/4)-8] = leah
1/4(-6)
= -1.5

Answer 2

Answer:

$-1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Beth's score is 3/4 of Trevon's score.

$\text{Beth's score}=-8\times \frac{3}{4}$

$\text{Beth's score}=-2*3$

$\text{Beth's score}=-6$

We are also told that Leah’s score was 1/4 of Beth’s score.

$\text{Leah's score}=-6\times \frac{1}{4}$

$\text{Leah's score}=-\frac{3}{2}$

$\text{Leah's score}=-1.5$

Therefore, Leah score was $-1.5$.
