Question

Hank has 4 green marbles for every 9 red marbles. If hank has 39 total marbles, how many green marbles does he have? pls answer ASAP it for assignment

Answer 1

Answer:

12 green marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

in this case we have to add the the green marbles as 4 and red marbles as 9

so, 4 + 9 = 13 and divide the total marbles to it

so, 39/13 = 3

so, here we have 3 times marble in 13 green marble to get the total number

so, 3 (13)

so, in this case we have to separate the green and red

so, 13 as ( 9 red + 4 green)

so,3 times  ( 9 red + 4 green)

in this case we can use distributive property of multiplication

so, 3 times 9 red = 27 is the total red marbles

and 3 times 4 green = 12 is the total green marbles

to check the answer we have to add this two

so, 27 red marbles + 12 green marbles = 39 total marbles

so, that's why it is 12 green marbles

Answer 2

He has 12 green marbles. 4+9=13 and 39/13=3 so 4x3=12. to check, we can do 9x3=27 as well and add our results. 12+27=39 so we know we are correct.
