Answer:
Add 7 black beads
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we can only change the number of black beads, decide how many black beads you will add based on how many white beads there are.
There are three white beads in the picture.
Total beads we will have (<em>b</em> meaning black) b : 3
Ratio black : white beads 3 : 1
Use the common ratio, which is a number that both sides of the original ratio multiply by to get to the new ratio.
Find common ratio by dividing total by ratio white beads: 3/1 = 3
Multiply ratio black beads by common ratio. 3 X 3 = 9
<u>We need 9 black beads in total</u>.
Check answer
9 : 3 Both sides divisible by 3; reduce ratio
= 3 : 1 Correct ratio
There will be a total of 9 black beads, but we already have 2 black beads:
(9 total) - (2 original) = (7 to add)
Therefore we need to add 7 black beads.
Hi there!
Let's start by replacing "a number" by the letter "x" so that we can do an equation and isolate "x" to find your answer :
(x - ) + = -7
subtract on each side of the equation
x - = -8.25
add on each side of the equation
x = -7.5
-7.5 - 3/4 = -8.25
-8.25 + 5/4 = <u>-7</u>
So your answer is : Three-fourths was subtracted from -7.5, and then 5/4 was added to the result. The sum was -7.
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
