Question

Larry has 50 marbles. Ben has m marbles. If Larry has 100 times as many marbles as Ben, write an equation that shows how many marbles Ben has.
(m represents a number and plz help!)

Answer 1

The answer is 5,000 hope this helps

Answer 2

Larry = 50
Ben = m

100m = 50
m = .5
So ben has half a marble. Which makes no sense, unless i did it incorrectly.
