Answer:

Number of red beads = 6

Number of blue beads = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of total beads = 21

Ratio of red beads to the blue beads = 2 : 5

Therefore, number of red beads I have = \frac{2}{2+5}(\text{Total number of beads})

                                                                  = \frac{2}{7}\times 21

                                                                  = 6 beads

Number of blue beads = \frac{5}{2+5}\times (21)

                                      = \frac{5}{7}\times 21

                                      = 15 beads

Therefore, number of red beads = 6

And number of blue beads = 15

henry has 68 miles to destination after 45 minutes and 51.5 miles to destination after 71 minutes of driving. How many miles to
Airida [17]
Let d represent the distance of the destination from the starting point.

After 45 min, Henry has already driven d-68 miles.  After 71 min., he has already driven d-51.5 miles.

So we have 2 points on a straight line:

(45,d-68) and (71,d-51.5).  Let's find the slope of the line thru these 2 points:

                                 d-51.5 - (d-68)         16.5 miles
slope of line = m = ----------------------- = ------------------
                                     71 - 45                   26 min

Thus, the slope, m, is   m = 0.635 miles/min

The distance to his destination would be d - (0.635 miles/min)(79 min), or 

d - 50.135 miles.  We don't know how far his destination is from his starting point, so represent that by "d."

After 45 minutes:  Henry has d - 68 miles to go;

After 71 minutes, he has        d - 51.5 miles to go; and

After 79 minutes, he has         d -  x miles to go.  We need to find x.

Actually, much of this is unnecessary.  Assuming that Henry's speed is 0.635 miles/ min, and knowing that there are 8 minutes between 71 and 79 minutes, we can figure that the distance traveled during those 8 minutes is

(0.635 miles/min)(8 min) = 5.08 miles.  Subtracting thix from 51.5 miles, we conclude that after 79 minutes, Henry has (51.5-5.08), or 46.42, miles left before he reaches his destination.
