I'm assuming Petra is only removing blue marbles, and she is keeping the 2 red marbles the whole time.
If so, then she starts with 49 blue marbles and ends up with 49-x blue marbles after removing x blue marbles. Overall she starts with 49+2 = 51 marbles total and ends up with 51-x marbles total after taking away x blue marbles.
(49-x)/(51-x) represents the proportion of blue marbles after we take those blue ones away. We want the proportion to be 0.90
(49-x)/(51-x) = 0.90
49-x = 0.90(51-x)
49-x = 0.90(51)+0.90(-x)
49-x = 45.9-0.90x
-x+0.90x = 45.9-49
-0.10x = -3.1
x = -3.1/(-0.10)
x = 31
<h3>Petra must remove 31 blue marbles so that 90% of the marbles are blue.</h3><h3>Answer: (E) 31</h3>
Answer:
408,506
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 vowels out of 13 letters
P(vowel) = 3/13
Answer: 2/7 = 8/28
1/4 = 7/28
Therefore Mr Pham mowed more.
8+7 = 15 so 15/28 of lawn has been mowed, therefore 13/28 of the lawn is left still to be mowed.
Mr. Pham mowed more of the lawn than his son.
it still needs ¹³/₂₈ of the lawn to be mowed.
