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 <===

A rectangular prism must have a base with an area of no more than 27 square meters. The width of the base must be 9 meters less
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The maximum height of the prism is 12\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the height of the prism

we know that

the area of the rectangular base of the prism is equal to

A=L*W

A\leq 27\ m^{2}

so

L*W\leq 27 -------> inequality A

W=x-9 ------> equation B

L=W+6 -----> equation C

Substitute equation B in equation C

L=(x-9)+6

L=x-3 ------> equation D

Substitute equation B and equation D in the inequality A

(x-3)*(x-9)\leq 27-------> using a graphing tool to solve the inequality

The solution for x is the interval---------->[0,12]

see the attached figure

but remember that

The width of the base must be 9 meters less than the height of the prism

so

the solution for x is the interval ------> (9,12]

The maximum height of the prism is 12\ m
