Answer:
You will have 128 orange marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as an equation
Variable x = number of orange marbles
3/8 = 48/x
Cross multiply
3 × x = 8 × 48
3x = 384
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable
3x ÷ 3 = 384 ÷ 3
1x = 128
x = 128
128 orange marbles
Check work:
Substitute the variable x for the answer
3/8 = 48/128
Cross multiply
3 × 128 = 8 × 48
384 = 384
If the numbers equal, the answer is correct

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to figure out how much money Jackie has since Pilar has the same amount of money, but in different coins. Jackie has 24 dimes and 13 quarters, so the amount of money is $2.40 + $3.25 = $5.65; therefore, Pilar has $5.65 also. In order to determine how many nickels and quarters Pilar has, we have to have a system of equations. It's up to us to write the equations we need to solve this. The first equation has to do with the NUMBER of coins Pilar has, the second has to do with the VALUE of each coin. We know that Pilar has only nickels and quarters and that she has a total of 53 coins. So the NUMBER equation is
n + q = 53
The VALUE equation relates how much each coin is worth to the total amount of money it equals:
.05n + .25q = 5.65.
Go back to the first equation and solve it for either n or q. I solved it for n:
n = 53 - q
Plug this into the second equation in place of n now to get:
.05(53 - q) + .25q = 5.65 and
2.65- .05q + .25q = 5.65 and
.20q = 3 so
q = 15. This means that there are 15 quarters. If there are 15 quarters, then there are
n + 15 = 53 nickels and
n = 38 nickels.
