Answer:

160 total beads

Step-by-step explanation:

so if 1/4 of the beads are red, then 3/4 of them are not.....so 3/4 is the remainder of beads.....and 3/5 of the remainder are yellow....so 3/5 of 3/4 =

3/5 * 3/4 = 9/20...so 9/20 are yellow.....and the rest (48) are blue.

1/4 + 9/20 = 5/20 + 9/20 = 14/20 reduces to 7/10...so 7/10 of the beads are red and yellow

so if 7/10 of the beads are red and yellow, then 3/10 are blue

3/10 of what number is 48

3/10x = 48

x = 48 * 10/3

x = 480/3

x = 160

let me check it..

1/4 are red......160 total beads.....so red beads = (1/4 * 160) = 160/4 = 40

3/5 of the remainder is yellow.....so 3/5 of (160 - 40) = 3/5(120) = 72 yellow

and then u have 48 blue...

40 + 72 + 48 = 160

so there are 160 total beads.......40 red, 72 yellow, and 48 blue <===

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

y= -54-2

y= -56 &

x= -54/ -9

x= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y= -9x-2

-9x= y+2 divide bothe side by -9

x=y+2/-9

y= -9(y+2/ -9) -2 = (y+2)-2

y= -2(y+2)

y= -2y-4

y+2y= -4

3y= -4 divide bothe side by 3

y= -4/3

x=y+2/ -9

x= -4/3+2/-9

x= -2/3× -9

x=18/3

x=6

I don’t understand pls help!!

Answer:

7.9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c²

This formula can be used to solve a side of any right (90°) triangle.

c² is the length of the hypotenuse (the diagonal side of the triangle, opposite to the 90° angle)

So, c = 32m.

Sides a and b are the legs of the triangle, but we only know one side. Plug numbers into the formula:

31² + b² = 32²

961 + b² = 1024 Subtract 961 from both sides to get b² by itself.

b² = 63

√b² = √63  Square root both sides to get b by itself.

b = 7.93725

Answer is 7.9 meters, rounded to tenths place

Find the total number of four-digit numbers you can write using only digits that are even numbers?
vova2212 [387]
We assume that you don't want to count numbers that start with 0, so there are 4 possible first digits and 5 possible digits in each of the remaining places.

4*5^3 = 500 . . . . total number of 4-digit numbers using only even digits

_____
The list of them would be ...
2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2020, ..., 8868, 8880, 8882, 8884, 8886, 8888
