Answer:

24 purple jelly beans

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that;

Lucas had a mix of red and purple jelly beans. There were 2 red jelly beans for every 3 purple jelly beans.

The results in a ratio

2:3

Where 2 represented red jelly beans

3 represented purple jelly beans

Total number of jelly beans = 40 jelly beans.

The number of purple jelly beans that we have =

3/( 2 + 3) × 40

= 3/5 × 40

= 3 × 8

= 24.

Hence, there are 24 purple jelly beans in the bag.

Question : 3/4+ 0.6 = ? 1.15 1.35 1.45 or 1.05
Artyom0805 [142]

we have

\frac{3}{4} +0.6

we know that

\frac{3}{4}=0.75

and

0.75=0.40+0.35

substitute in the expression

0.40+0.35 +0.6

(0.40+0.60)+0.35

(1.00)+0.35=1.35

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

1.35
