Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

b = 2/3


a = 7/3
b)

Cross multiply,
2b + 1 = a*(3b - 1)
2b + 1 = a*3b - 3*a
2b + 1 = 3ab- 3a
2b = 3ab - 3a - 1
2b - 3ab = -3a - 1
b(2 - 3a) = -3a - 1

If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio:

Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication, so that's what I'll show you here:

Finally, solve for x:

If you had 100 balloons, you will have
40 yellow balloons.
Hope this helps!!
