Answer:

#5: 180 paperclips in total.

#6: 126 stamps in total.

#7: Elena should give Lucy 15 colored pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

This explanation solves each question by setting a single unknown, x.

<h3>#5</h3>

Let x the initial number of paperclips of Antonio. That should also be the number of Abby's paperclips.

Initially:

  • Antonio: x paperclips;
  • Abby: x paperclips.

Antonio gives 30 paperclips to Abby. After that,

  • Antonio: (x - 30) paperclips;
  • Abby: x + 30 paperclips.

Abby now possess twice as many paperclips as Antonio does. In other words,

2(x - 30) = x + 30.

By the distributive property:

2x - 60 = x + 30.

Substract x - 60 from both sides

x = 30 - (-60) = 90.

Both Antonio and Abby initially possess 90 paperclips. That's 180 in total.

<h3>#6</h3>

Similarly, let x be the number of Emily's stamps. That should be the same as the number of Jasmine's stamps.

Initially:

  • Emily: x stamps;
  • Jasmine: x stamps.

After Emily gives 42 stamps to Jasmine:

  • Emily: x-42 stamps;
  • Jasmine: x+42 stamps.

Jasmine now possesses twice as many stamps as Emily does. In other words,

2(x-42) = x+42.

x = 42 + 2\times 42 = 126.

Jasmine used to possess 126 stamps. Now she possesses 126 + 42 = 168 stamps after receiving 42 stamps from Emily.

<h3>#7</h3>

Let the number of pencils that Elena needs to give to Lucy be x.

Initially:

  • Elena: 60 pencils;
  • Lucy: 26 pencils.

After Elena gives x pencils to Lucy:

  • Elena: 60 - x pencils;
  • Lucy: 26 + x pencils.

Elena should now possess four more pencils than Lucy does. In other words,

\underbrace{60 - x}_{\text{Elena's}} = \underbrace{(26 + x)}_{\text{Lucy's}} +4.

2x = 30.

x = 15.

Lol what do I put so stuck
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

[See Below]

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the "Fraction" column, all the fractions in this column must add up to 1 (because the whole bag contains only Red, Green, Blue or Other coloured beads).

So we work out the sum of missing fractions: \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}

And so we know the fractions in the missing boxes must add up to 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}.

This means that the number of blue and green beads is 2/3rds of the total number of beads in the bag. There are 12+4=16 blue+green beads so

\frac{2}{3} \times \text{Number of beads} = 16 \Rightarrow \text{Number of beads} = 24.

So if there are 24 beads in the bag, then the red beads are 1/12th of 24 which is 2 and the other beads are 1/4 of 24 which is 6.

Finally to complete the missing fractions: there are 12 blue beads and 24 in total so the fraction of blue beads is 12/24 = 1/2. Similarly, there are 4 green beads so the fraction of green beads is 4/24 = 1/6.

(I thought this was a very tricky question. Let me know in the comments if something doesn't make sense, or if you need more explanation on any part, or even if you spot an easier way to do it that I can't.)
