Answer: 3 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, 6 yellow marbles, 8 black marbles, 4 silver marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

I know these are the correct number of marbles because I set up these numbers as fractions and solved for x.

For examples, 2/16 of the marbles are red. 2/16=x/24

You would do this because we are trying to find the number of marbles that are red out of the 24 marbles.

Next, we would do 24 divided by 16= 1.5 Then 1.5 times 2=3

You would follow this rule for each fraction of marbles in order to find the true number of marbles out of 24.

How many liters of pure water must be added to how many liters of a 25% bleach solution to make 12 liters of a 15% bleach soluti
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer: 4.8 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x liter of water is added with y liter of 25% beach solution.

Thus, According to the question,

x + y = 12  -------(1)

0% of x + 25 % of y = 15 % of 12

25 % of y = 15% of 12

25 y = 15\times 12

y = \frac{180}{25}

y = \frac{36}{5}

Put this value in equation (1),

We get,

x + \frac{36}{5} = 12

x = 12-\frac{36}{5}

x =\frac{60-36}{5}

x =\frac{24}{5}

Therefore, the quantity of water =  x =\frac{24}{5}=4.8\text{ liter}

And, the quantity of 25% bleach solution = y =\frac{36}{5}=7.2\text{ liter}

You are purchasing a house 12 years from now. the estimated purchase price is $171,600.00. you want to make a 20% down payment.
diamong [38]
Answer:
$238.33

Explanation:
Assume that the amount you need to save per month is x.

You will be saving monthly for 12 years. This means that the amount you will save after 12 years is:
amount saved after 12 years = 12 * 12 * x = 144x

Now, you need to save 20% of $<span>171,600.00. We will first need to calculate this value.
20% of $</span>171,600.00 = 0.2 * <span>171,600.00 = $34320

Now, to know your monthly savings, equate the total amount saved in 12 years with the amount that needs to be saved and solve for x as follows:
144x = 34320
x = 34320 / 144
x = 238.33

This means that, to meet your goal, you need to save $238.33 monthly for 12 years.

Hope this helps :)</span>
