StartFraction 50 miles Over 1 hour EndFraction = StartFraction 200 miles Over question mark hours EndFraction
Step-by-step explanation:
For constant speed, miles and hours are proportional. One possible equation is ...

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
I personally like to put the unknown in the numerator, so the equation can be solved in one step. The equation above requires two steps: one to cross-multiply, and one to divide by 50.
I might write the equation as ...
(? hours)/(200 mi) = (1 hour)/(50 mi) . . . . multiply by 200 mi to solve
Another way to write the equation is matching the ratios of times to corresponding miles:
(? hours)/(1 hour) = (200 mi)/(50 mi)
This only requires simplification to solve it: ? = 4.
There are 13 green marbles in the bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total marbles = 18
Let,
Green marbles = x
Blue marbles = y
According to given statement;
The number of green marbles is 2 less than 3 times the number of blue marbles.
x = 3y-2 Eqn 1
x+y=18 Eqn 2
Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2;
Dividing both sides by 4
Putting y=5 in Eqn 1
There are 13 green marbles in the bag.
