Mathematics

pickupchik [31]3 years ago

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of yellow : purple = 5 : 4 = 5x : 4x ( x is a multiplier )

After Alice eats 3 purple sweets, then ratio is

5 : 3 = 5x : 4x - 3

Express the ratio in fractional form, that is

\frac{5}{3} = \frac{5x}{4x-3} ( cross- multiply )

5(4x - 3) = 15x

20x - 15 = 15x ( subtract 15x from both sides )

5x - 15 = 0 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3

Then

number of sweets at beginning = 5x + 4x = 9x = 9(3) = 27

Write the number equal to 5 tens and 13 ones
serious [3.7K]
To find this out we have to add 5 tens and 13 ones. 
5 tens is equal to 
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 50 

And 13 ones is equal to 
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13 

Now add 50 and 13 
50 + 13 = 63

So your answer is 63 

good Luck! :)
