Question

Each marble bag sold by Lucy's Marble Company contains 7 yellow marbles for every 5 green marbles. If a bag has 45 green marbles, how many yellow marbles does it contain?

Answer 1

Answer:

63 yellow marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up this equation as a proportion:

7/5 = x/45

Divide 45 by 5 to see what 7/5 must be multiplied by to get to x/45.

You should get 9, so also multiply 7 by 9 to get this:

7/5 = 63/45

This shows that there are 63 yellow marbles for 45 green marbles.
