Given:
Total number of marbles in the bag = 150
There are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles.
To find:
The number of blue marbles in the bag.
Solution:
Since, there are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles, therefore the ratio of blue marble to white marbles is 21:4.
Let the number of blue marbles be 21x and white marbles be 4x.
Total number of marbles in the bag = 150
Divide both sides by 25.
Now,
Therefore, the number of blue marbles is 126.
Answer:
ST = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
A segment joining the midpoints of 2 sides of a triangle is half the length of the third side.
ST = PQ substitute values
- 32 + 9x = (- 5x + 28) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
- 64 + 18x = - 5x + 28 (add 5x to both sides )
- 64 + 23x = 28 ( add 64 to both sides )
23x = 92 ( divide both sides by 23 )
x = 4
Then
ST = - 32 + 9x = - 32 + 9(4) = - 32 + 36 = 4
