Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 10 marbles and 4 of them are purple. That would give you the fraction 4/10. 4/10 can be simplified to 2/5. So, you have a 2/5ths chance of choosing a purple marble.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>First Equation → </em><u><em>y = 21/4</em></u>
<em>Second Equation → </em><u><em>x = -1/57</em></u>
<u />
<u>Explanation:</u>
<em>solving equation #1</em>
<em></em>
step 1 - simplify
<em></em>

step 3 - multiply each side of the equation by six

step 4 - add three to both sides of the equation.

step 5 - add three y to both sides of the equation.

step 6 - simplify

step 7 - divide both sides of the equation by four

Therefore, the solution to the first given equation is <u><em>y = 21/4 </em></u><em>or y = 5.25.</em>
<u><em /></u>
<em>solving equation #2</em>
<em />
step 1 - simplify.

step 2 - multiply each side of the equation by five.

step 3 - subtract twenty x from each side of the equation.

step 4 - divide each side of the equation by negative nineteen.

step 5 - switch

Therefore, the solution to the second equation is <em><u>x = -1/57.</u></em>
We will have 16 white counters in the bag.
Given that there are blue, red, and white counters in a bag in the ratio 16:3:2, the total number of balls will be:
- Total = 16 + 3 + 2
- Total = 21
If there are <em>112 more blue counters than white counters</em>, then;
number of blues = number of white + 112
16x = 2x + 112
14x = 112
x = 8
Number of white counters = 2x = 2(8) = 16
Therefore we will have 16 white counters in the bag.
