Answer:

X= blue tiles

Y = red tiles

X/y = 4/21

X+y= 425

Y= 357 tiles

X= 68 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

red and blue ceramic tiles are laid according to a pattern.

The pattern= every 21 red tiles used, 4 blue tiles are used

Total number of tiles used = 425 tiles

X= blue tiles

Y = red tiles

X/y = 4/21

X+y= 425

21x= 4y

X= 4y/21

X+y= 425

4y/21 + y = 425

25y= 425(21)

Y=( 425*21)/25

Y= 357 tiles

X= 4y/21

X= (4*357)/21

X= 1428/21

X= 68 tiles

The number is 2 :) because you need common denominators therefore you multiply by 3 so that 4 becomes 14 therefore 3 times 2 is 6 and 11 menus 6 is 4 so you get 4/14
