Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

let r represent red marbles then white = 2r + 5 and total is 20, thus

r + 2r + 5 = 20 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3r = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )

r = 5 ← number of red marbles

Thus number of white = 20 - 5 = 15

It took 20,000 workers to build the Taj Mahal in 20 years. How many workers would be required to build it in 10 years?
omeli [17]

Answer:

40,000 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

This question deals with simple rates proportion.

If it takes 20 years for X workers to complete a job,

if we double the amount of workers, we will take half the time.

hence to halve the time from 20 years to 10 years, we will need to double the amount of workers.

In this case we will need 20,000 workers x 2 = 40,000 workers

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it says greater than, that means that it cannot be B or D. And ≥ means greater than or equal to and they don't state that in the problem. So the answer would be A.

I HOPE THIS HELPED! :)
