The correct answer is 36. The ratio of number of correct problems to the incorrect is 2:9. Josie missed 8 questions. The common number for 8 and 2 is four. You multiply 4 to 9 and that will give us 36. To further illustrate see the explanation below: 2:9 = 8:36 8/2 = 4 36/9 = 4
2:9 = 8:? 8/2 = 4 4 x 9 = 36
