Step-by-step explanation:

the numbers : x, y

x + y = 8

x = y - 4

we use the second equation in the first :

y - 4 + y = 8

2y - 4 = 8

2y = 12

y = 6

x = y - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2

Mr. Lawrence used 100 tiles when he put a new floor in the kitchen 34 tiles are squares and 16 tiles are rectangles write the to

Oliga [24]

<h3>Fraction of square tiles = $(\frac{4}{25}) = 0.16$ </h3><h3>Fraction of rectangle tiles = $(\frac{17}{50}) = 0.34$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tiles to be used in the kitchen = 100

The total number of square tiles = 34

The total number of rectangle tiles = 16

Now, calculating the total fraction of square tiles:

The fraction of square tiles = $\frac{\textrm{Total number of square tiles}}{\textrm{Total number of tiles}} = \frac{16}{100} = \frac{4}{25}$

Also, solving the fraction, we get $\frac{4}{25} = 0.16$

So, the decimal value of square tiles = 0.6

Calculating the total fraction of rectangle tiles:

The fraction of rectangle tiles = $\frac{\textrm{Total number of rectangle tiles}}{\textrm{Total number of tiles}} = \frac{34}{100} = \frac{17}{50}$

Also, solving the fraction, we get $\frac{17}{50} = 0.34$

So, the decimal value of rectangle tiles = 0.34

Answer:

378 marbles are blue, and 270 marbles are red

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ratio units must be multiplied by 6 to get the total number of marbles. Hence the number of blue marbles is 63×6 = 378, and the number of red marbles is 45×6 = 270.
