Answer:
Add 7 black beads
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we can only change the number of black beads, decide how many black beads you will add based on how many white beads there are.
There are three white beads in the picture.
Total beads we will have (<em>b</em> meaning black) b : 3
Ratio black : white beads 3 : 1
Use the common ratio, which is a number that both sides of the original ratio multiply by to get to the new ratio.
Find common ratio by dividing total by ratio white beads: 3/1 = 3
Multiply ratio black beads by common ratio. 3 X 3 = 9
<u>We need 9 black beads in total</u>.
Check answer
9 : 3 Both sides divisible by 3; reduce ratio
= 3 : 1 Correct ratio
There will be a total of 9 black beads, but we already have 2 black beads:
(9 total) - (2 original) = (7 to add)
Therefore we need to add 7 black beads.
<span>Understand that:
• the sum of two positive numbers is greater than either
number.
Understand that addition is the inverse of subtraction (addition
reverses subtraction and vice versa) and use this to check
results.
Respond rapidly to oral or written questions, explaining the
strategy used. For example:
• 654 add 50… Add 68 to 74…
• 7 add 12 add 9… Add 15, 6, 4, 15 and 1…
• What is the sum/total of 26 and 39? And of 13, 62 and 3?
• How many altogether are 121 and 35? And 61, 37 and 6?
• Increase 48 by 22.
• Which three numbers could have a total of 103?
Are there any others?</span>
