Hi friend,

The objective is to divide $20 in 2:3 ratio.

One part be 2x, another part is 3x

Sum of them = 20

2x + 3x = 20

5x = 20

x=4

So therefore one part must be 2x = 2 x 4 = 8

Another part = 3x = 3 x 4 = 12

Hence it is divided in 2:3 ratio.

Hope my answer is helpful to u. :)

How many white marbles are there?

vitfil [10]

I believe the answer is 6 white marbles. how i figured that out was i made an equation. i took the variable Y (for the yellow marbles) times 2 minus 6 equals 18. you then add 6 to the other side of the equal sign to cancel out the 6. you then have y(2)=24. you divide y and 24 by 2. you get 12 yellow marbles. next step is to take 18 - 12. you are left with 6 white marbles. hope this helps!
