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

21x+4x=150

25x=150

Divide both sides by 25.

x=\dfrac{150}{25}

x=6

Now,

\text{Blue marbles}=21x

\text{Blue marbles}=21(6)

\text{Blue marbles}=126

Therefore, the number of blue marbles is 126.

Given a line segment with endpoints A(16, 8) and B(1, 3) what are the coordinates of the
blondinia [14]

Answer:

The line segment partitioned two-fifths from A to B is (10,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

First point from A to B is (16,8)

than find the difference between A to B i.e B - A

(1,3)-(16,8) = (-15,-5)

To measure the (2/5) difference we will multiply (-15,-5) with  (2/5) which is equal to (-6,-2)

Now Add the difference to the first coordinate (point A) gives

Point of division = (16,8)+(-6,-2)

Point of division = (16-6, 8-2)

Point of division = (10,6)
