The algebraic equation for small and large marbles are y=5x and z=3x+2. The number of small marbles is 310.The number of small marbles is 310.The number of large marbles is 188.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

From the given information, Amy has three sizes of marbles.

Let x represents the medium marbles, y as small marbles and z as large marbles.

The number of small marbles she has is 5 times more than medium marbles. Then the algebraic equation for small marbles:

⇒ y = 5x.

The number of large marbles she has is two more than three times. Then the algebraic equation for large marbles:

⇒ z=3x+2.

And the sum of three marbles is 560.

∴x+y+z=560.

To find each number of marbles, substitute the algebraic equation of y and z in the above equation.

⇒x+5x+3x+2=560.

9x+2=560.

9x= 560-2.

9x=558.

x= 62.

∴The number of medium marbles is 62.

The number of small marbles y = 5x.

⇒y= 5(62)

y= 310.

∴The number of small marbles is 310.

The number of large marbles z = 3x+2.

⇒z= 3(62)+2

z=  186+2.

z=188.

∴The number of large marbles is 188.

Yesterday noah ran 2 1/2 miles in 3/5 hour. Emily ran 3 3/4 miles in 5/6 hour. Anna ran 3 1/2 miles in 3/4 hour how fast in mile
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the speed of each one we proceed as follows:

speed=distance/time

a] Noah's speed:

distance=2.5 miles

time=3/5 hours

speed=(2 1/2)/(3/5)

=(5/2)/(3/5)

=5/2×5/3

=25/6

=4 1/6 mi/hr

Emily's speed

distance=3 3/4 miles

time=5/6 hour

thus

speed=(3 3/4)/(5/6)

=15/4)/(5/6)

=15/4×6/5

=4 1/2 mi/hr

Anna's speed:

distance=3 1/3 miles

time=3/5

speed=(3 1/3)/(3/5

=(10/3)/(3/5)

=10/3×5/3

=5 5/9 mi/hr

Anna was the fastest
