Answer:

1st: 116°

2nd: 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. We can make the first supplementary angle be represented by: 2x - 12 and the second supp. angle be represented by x.

Make both of these expressions add up to 180.

(2x - 12) + (x) = 180

Combine like terms.

3x - 12 = 180

Add 12 to both sides.

3x = 192

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 64

Substitute 64 for x into the first supp. angle's expression.

2(64) - 12 = 116

The first supp. angle is 116 degrees and the second is 64 degrees.

Rainbow [258]

We have been given that red, green, and white jellybeans are combined in a ratio of 5:4:3 respectively. We are asked to find out the ratio of green jelly beans to the total number of jelly beans.

In order to find out the ratio of green jelly beans to the total number of jelly beans we have to find out the total number of jelly beans.

$\text{Total number of jelly beans}=5+4+3=12$

Now we can find out out our desirable ratio by substituting our finding in the ratio.

$\text{Number of green jelly beans}:\text{Total number of jelly beans}=4:12\\=1:3$

Therefore, ratio of green jelly beans with respect to all jelly beans is 1:3.
