I believe the answer is 6 white marbles. how i figured that out was i made an equation. i took the variable Y (for the yellow marbles) times 2 minus 6 equals 18. you then add 6 to the other side of the equal sign to cancel out the 6. you then have y(2)=24. you divide y and 24 by 2. you get 12 yellow marbles. next step is to take 18 - 12. you are left with 6 white marbles. hope this helps!
Answer:
the first option
Step-by-step explanation:
kids at zoo, k = 325
percentage boys, b = 64%
percentage girls, g = 100 - b = 36%
number of girls = 325 × 36% = 117
30 treadmills : 36 ellipticals
this could be written in a few ways, but i am going to write it as a fraction. since treadmills come first, you put 30/36.
now that you have your fraction you have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of the two numbers. the GCF is 6, so you have to divide 30 treadmills by 6, and 36 ellipticals by 6.
30/6=5
36/6=6
5/6 or 5:6 is the simplified ratio of treadmills to ellipticals
