Answer:
Peter needs to get 36 problems correct to get 12 stars
Step-by-step explanation:
for every 3 correct answers, Peter gets 1 star
1/3
if he wants 12 stars he will have to get 'x' amount of questions correctly
considering this is constant, 1/3 will have to equal 12/x
[tex]\frac{1}{3} = \frac{12}{x} \\\\1x = 36\\[/tex]
1x = x, so you don't need to do anything to 36
therefore the answer is that you need to get 36 problems correct to get 12 stars
