I would go with A. Because that’s not only his height. There could be taller people on the team that make up for his lack of height.
The number of red marbles in the bag is 19 and the number of blue marbles is 8.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let R be the number of red marbles
Let B be the number of blue marbles
According to the question,
R + B = 27 (Total number of marbles is 27
) -1
R = 3B - 5 (Number of red marbles is 5 less than 3 times the number of blue marbles
)
Substitute the right half of the second equation for R in the first equation
3B - 5 + B = 27
Add 5 to each side and combine the Bs
4B = 32
Divide both sides by 4
B = 8
Use this value of B in the first equation
R + 8 = 27
R = 19
Therefore, number of red marbles in the bag is 19 and the number of blue marbles is 8.

Answer: </h3><h3>Fred has <u>20 students</u> and Lee has <u>22 students</u></h3>
=============================================================
Work Shown:
L = number of students in Lee's class
F = number of students in Fred's class
Lee has 1.1 times as many students compared to Fred
This means we have this equation
L = 1.1F
Whatever the value of F is, we multiply that by 1.1 to get the value of L
The two amounts L and F add to 42 total students
L+F = 42
1.1F + F = 42 .... replace L with 1.1F
2.1F = 42
F = 42/(2.1)
F = 20 .... Fred has 20 students
L = 1.1*F
L = 1.1*20
L = 22 .... Lee has 22 students
------------
Check:
L+F = 22+20 = 42
this confirms the answer
