To figure this out, you should think about the multiples of 10 boxes you could have.

If I had 10 small boxes, there would need to be 86 large boxes. 86 is not evenly divisible by 8 so that doesn't work.

If I had 20 small boxes, there would be 76 large boxes. 76 is not evenly divisible by 8.

If I had 30 small boxes, there would be 66 large boxes. 66 is not evenly divisible by 8.

If I had 40 small boxes, there would be 56 large boxes. 56 is every divisible by 8.

4 cartons of 10 small boxes and 7 cartons of 8 large boxes would be needed. This is a total of 11 cartons.

Elanso [62]
Here is how to solve this:

18 +4 = 22 bulls

45 + 4 = 50 cows

The original ratio was, 18:45 but now its 22:50 so, no the ratio will not be the same.

A candy store held a contest to guess the total number of jelly beans in a jar. All of the jelly beans in the jar were either gr
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of orange jelly beans be x , as we do not know the exact value of it yet. There are 12 times as many green jelly beans than the orange ones. So , if the number of orange jelly beans is x , the number of green jelly beans will be = 12 times x , which can be written as 12x. Now there are a total of 1872 jelly beans , but they are either orange or green , so we already know that the number of orange jbs is x , and the number of green jelly beans is 12x. So if we the green jelly beans and orange jelly beans , it should be 1872.

Now all we need to do is to find x.

We know that ,

x + 12x = 1872

Now we add x and 12x on the left hand side

13x = 1872

Now we divide both sides by 13 to get x. (That includes 1872 as well)

x = 144

Now we have the value of x which is 144

We know that the number of green jelly beans was 12 times x

So the number of green jelly beans in numeric value is : 12 * 144

As x is equal to 144

Ans . : The number of green jelly beans is 1728.
