Answer:duuno i wanted to help
Step-by-step explanation:
thnx
Let R and B be the number of red and blue marbles respectively.
Then,
R+B = 36
R:B = 5:4
Therefore,
Ratio of red marbles = 5/9
Ratio of blue marbles = 4/9
This means,
R = 5/9*36 = 20 marbles
B = 4/9*36 = 16 marbles
If one blue marble is removed from the bag, the new B= 16-1 = 15 blue marbles and the new total of marbles in the bag = 36-1 = 35 marbles.
The new ratios are
R = 20/35 =4/7
B = 15/35 = 3/7
That is, R:B = 4:3
The reasoning of the student is wrong. When a marble is removed, both the number of blue marbles changes as well as the total of the marbles in the bag. In other words, both the values in the ratio reduce by 1.
We assume all employees are either full-time or part-time.
36 = 24 + 12
If the number of full-time employees is 24 or less, the number of part-time employees must be 12 or more. (Thinking, based on knowledge of sums.)

You can write the inequality in two stages.
- First, write and solve an equation for the number of full-time employees in terms of the number of part-time employees.
- Then apply the given constraint on full-time employees. This gives an inequality you can solve for the number of part-time employees.
Let f and p represent the numbers of full-time and part-time employees, respectively.
... f + p = 36 . . . . . . given
... f = 36 - p . . . . . . . subtract p. This is our expression for f in terms of p.
... f ≤ 24 . . . . . . . . . given
... (36 -p) ≤ 24 . . . . substitute for f. Here's your inequality in p.
... 36 - 24 ≤ p . . . . add p-24
... p ≥ 12 . . . . . . . . the solution to the inequality
