Answer:

The length of the blue rope is 80.25 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

B = Blue Rope

G = Green Rope

R = Red Rope

B=3R (Blue is 3 x as long as Red)

G=5B (Green is 5 x as long as Blue)

B+G+R = 508.25 (The three ropes together are 508.25 meters)

Since B=3R, I will rewrite the equation above

3R + G + R = 508.25

Now, I will write G in terms of R:

G=5B

B=3R, so 5B = 15R (multiply both sides by 5) which means that G=5B=15R, so G=15R.

Rewrite the equation again in terms of R:

3R + 15R + R = 508.25

19R = 508.25 (combine like terms)

R = 26.75 (divide both sides by 19 to solve for R)

Now, use the value 26.75 (R, which is the length of the red rope) to solve for B (the length of the blue rope):

B=3R

B=3(26.75)

B=80.25 meters

anastassius [24]

Answer:

5 withdrawals

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $10.50 ends in $0.50, you know that she must have made at least one $2.50 transaction.

10.50 - 2.50 = 8

8/2 = 4 (she made four $2 transactions)

She made 4 $2 transactions and 1 $2.50 transaction.

4 + 1 = 5

She made 5 transactions total.
