Answer:

1000 balls

(there are infinitely many solutions to this question; you can scale up 1000, use a different total, etc.)

Step-by-step explanation:

there are, of course, multiple possible numbers,

but the easiest way is to go with 1000, because we can say 375 / 1000 and 400 / 1000

(0.4 + 0.275 + 0.225 = 1)

400 out of 1000 balls are red (400/1000 = 4/10 = 0.4)

375 out of 1000 balls are green (375/1000 = 3.75/10 = 0.375)

225 out of 1000 balls are yellow (225/1000 = 2.25/10 = 0.225)

the question never gave detail as to if the answer should be the <em>lowest</em><em> </em>number of possible balls, so this value is possible.

So, a possible number of balls in this bag is 1000.

Examine rectangle JKLM, shown below.
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

NM = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rectangle JKLM

JN = x + 3 and JL = 3x + 1

JN = 1/2JL as diagonals bisect each other and N is the midpoint of JL.

Substitute and solve for x:

x + 3 = 1/2(3x + 1)

2x + 6 = 3x + 1

3x - 2x = 6 - 1

x = 5

Find JN

JN = 5 + 3 = 8

Looking at the options, we see that

NM = JN = 8

Correct option is A

Elijah can read 75 words per minute . What is his speed in words per second
STatiana [176]
We know that Elijah can read 75 words per minute. To find how many words he can write per second we do:
75/60= 1.25 (We divide by 60 because there is 60 seconds in a minute)
Elijah's word per second is 1.25 words/second
