Here are the equations
x+y=48
x/y=5/8
but here's how I would solve it
5+7=12
48=12units
divide by 12 both sides
4=1unit
males=5 unit
4=1unit
times 5
20=5unit=males
females=7unit
4=1unit
times 7
28=7unit=females
It is 29 I might be wrong though
7/12
So we first need to add up all the marbles so there are 12 marbles to pick from so we know that there is 7 orange marbles and since there are only three colors and two of them we don’t want pick there is a 7/12 chance of getting a marble that isn’t yellow or blue and since we can’t simplify any further that’s the answer
3x +y = 23 this is the same as y=23-3x
3x - 2y = 8 this is the same as 3x/2-8/2=y, which gives you; y=1,5x-4
so;y=23-3xy=1,5x-4
y=y
23-3x=1,5x-4
23+4=1,5x+3x
27=4,5x
27/4,5=x
x=6
the y is:
3*6+y=23
18+y=23
y=23-18
<span>y=5</span>
It would be 12 inches plus 5/4 because 1/2 =2/4 so 2/4+3/4 =5/4 your answer is 13 1/4 or 53/4 hopes this answers your question
