Chapter 5: Problem 3

At the beginning of the semester, your instructor announces that there will be a test every two weeks.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Given a semester with X weeks, there will be \( \frac{X}{2} \) tests, as there is a test every two weeks. To find the exact number of tests, substitute the total number of weeks in the semester (X) into the formula.

Step by step solution

01

Represent the number of weeks in the semester

Let X represent the number of weeks in the semester.
02

Determine the frequency of tests

Since there is a test every two weeks, the tests occur once every 2 weeks.
03

Calculate the number of tests

To calculate the number of tests in the semester, divide the total number of weeks (X) by the frequency of tests (2 weeks): Number of tests = \( \frac{X}{2} \)
04

Interpret the result

The result of Step 3, \( \frac{X}{2} \), tells us the number of tests that will be conducted during the semester, given the information that there is a test every two weeks. If you know the total number of weeks in the semester (X), you can use the formula to find out the exact number of tests.
