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

Ray uses 8 pieces of wood for each box he makes. Ray writes an equation to describe how many boxes, y, he can make with x pieces
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

x=8y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Number of pieces used to make a box = 8

x denotes total number of pieces of wood with Ray

y denotes number of boxes

To find: an equation to describe how many boxes, y, he can make with x pieces of wood.

Solution:

Total number of pieces of wood with Ray = x

As Ray uses 8 pieces of wood for each box he makes,

Number of boxes made by Ray = \frac{x}{8}

Also, number of boxes made by Ray = y

So,

\frac{x}{8}=y\\ x=8y

Honestly, I'm not sure how to answer this, but I think this can help you.

Well if 5 and 2 fifths is one third of the total height of the building, then that means to find the total height of the building you need to times 5 2/5 by 3.

(I think F is an answer)
