Question

Felicia used 153 Yellow beads and some green beads for her art project. She used 9 times as many Yellow beads as green beads. How many green beads did she use fo the project

Answer 1

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of green beads that Felicia used, we first need to list out what we know.

Let x = number of green beads.

Yellow Beads = 153

So we get:

x*9 = 153

We divide both sides by nine to find the value of x.

$\dfrac{x*9}{9}=\dfrac{153}{9}$

x = 17

To see if we got the answer correct, let's substitute x.

x * 9 = 153

17 * 9 = 153

153 = 153
