A jar has 570 marbles of different colors.The ratio of red to blue marbles are 2:3 and red to green is 4:5.how many marbles of e

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The number of red marbles = 152

The number of blue marbles = 228 and

the number of green marbles = 190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of red marbles, y be the number of blue marbles and z be the number of green marbles.

It is given that the total marbles = 570.

Therefore, x + y + z = 570 --- (1)

It is also given that the ratio of red to blue marbles is 2 : 3.

Therefore, x : y = 2 : 3

or 3x = 2y --- (2)

It is also given that the ratio of red to green marbles is 4 : 5.

Therefore, x : z = 4 : 5

or 5x = 4z --- (3)

From (2), $y=\frac{3x}{2}$

From (3), $z=\frac{5x}{4}$

Substituting the above in (1), we get,

$x+\frac{3x}{2} +\frac{5x}{4} =570$

Multiply both sides by 4.

4x + 6x + 5x = 2280

15x = 2280

Divide both sides by 15.

x = 152

Hence,

y = $\frac{3(152)}{2}$

y = 228

z = $\frac{5(152)}{4}$

z = 190

Therefore,

The number of red marbles = 152

The number of blue marbles = 228 and

the number of green marbles = 190

Check:

Total number of marbles = 152 + 228 + 190 = 570

Ratio of red to blue marbles = 152 : 228 = 2 : 3

Ratio of red t green marbles = 152 : 190 = 4 : 5

the larger of two number is nine more than four times the smaller number. the sum of the two numbers is fifty-nine. find the two

VLD [36.1K]

This is solved by setting up two equations and then using one to answer the other.
The first step (use what is given to set up the two separate equations)
We are looking for two numbers, let us call them X and Y.
We are told that X + Y = 59
We are also told that (9 more than) 9+ (4times the smaller number) 4Y is the bigger number X
Then we combine that into 9+4Y=X
so we now have two separate equations and we can use one to solve the other. Everywhere we have X in the first equation, we will fill in with the second equation
(9+4Y) +Y = 59 [then combine like terms]
9+5Y=59 [subtract 9 from both sides]
5Y=50 [divide both sides by 5 to isolate the Y]
Y=10 [now plug this into either equation to solve for X]
9+4(10)=X
9+40=X
49=X and 10=Y

Wilma can mow a lawn in 80 mintues.Melissa can mow the same lawn in 120 minutes. How long does it take for both Wilma and Meliss

Luba_88 [7]

There is a formula for that;
Total time = (Worker 1 * Worker 2) / (Worker 1 + Worker 2)
Total time = (80 * 120) / (80 + 120)
Total time = 9,600 / 200
Total time = 48 minutes
