Answer:

32 orange marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First set up the proportion given in the problem, since it states that there are three red marbles for every four orange marbles. The ratio between them is 3:4.

This means that you can multiply the given amount of red marbles by 4/3 to find the amount of orange marbles and the given amount of orange marbles by 3/4 to find the amount of red marbles. Because there are 3 red marbles for every 4 orange marbles.

You can divide 32 by 3 to find the factor which is 8 and multiply by 4 to get 32. Because 8 × 3 = 24,

and 8 × 4 = 32.

It can also be thought of as fractions because the proportion is a factor which means that you can multiply and divide to get to a certain value.

So:

3/4 = 24/O

Red marbles / orange marbles = red marbles / orange marbles.

(cross multiply ; numerator times denominator, and denominator times numerator; numerator is the top number, and the denominator is bottom number of a fraction).

3O = 96

÷3 ÷3

O [orange marbles] = 32

After 3/4 of a minute a sloth has moved just 3/8 of a foot. what is the sloth's speed in feet per minute
Delicious77 [7]
Hello! 

So 4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4 (a quarter). So we have to find a quarter of 3/8 and add it to 3/8. First of all, we have to convert 1/4 to a percentage. The answer is 25%. 3/8 as a decimal is 0.375. 25% of 0.375 = (0.25 x 0.375 =) 0.09375. 
0.09375 + 0.375 = 0.46875. 
Now, we have to convert 0.46875 back into a fraction. 

So the answer is 5/64.

Have a great day! :)

the sum of the digits of two digit number is 10. when 18 is added to the number is digit reversed find and number​
Contact [7]

Answer:

<em>The number is 46</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Suppose:

a = One digit of the number

b = Tens digit of the number

The sum of the digits is 10:

a + b = 10

The number expressed as two-digits quantity is ab, and its value is

10a+b

When we add 18 to that number, we have:

10a+b+18

And that is represented as the number reversed:

10a+b+18=10b+a

Simplifying:

9a+18=9b

Dividing by 9:

a + 2 = b

Substituting in the first equation:

a + a + 2 = 10

2a = 8

a = 4

b = a + 2 = 6

Thus the number is 46
