Step-by-step explanation:

To find m, we need to divide 2/5 from both sides of the equation given.

<u>Divide:</u>

<u />\frac{2/5}{2/5} x=\frac{17/4}{2/5}

<u>Solving Dividing:</u>

2/5 cancels out.

\frac{17}{4} \div \frac{2}{5} =\frac{17}{4} \times\frac{5}{2} =85/8

<u>Equation:</u>

x=\frac{85}{8}

x =10.625, or: 10\frac{5}{8}

Timmy and Ben shared a bag of marbles. Timmy had 3/4 of what Ben had. When Ben gave 36 marbles to Timmy, Ben had 1/3 of what Tim
Svetllana [295]

Let t be the inital number of Timmy's marbles, and b be the inital number of Ben's marbles.

At the beginning, "Timmy had 3/4 of what Ben had", which means

t = \cfrac{3}{4}b  \iff 4t=3b

(I wrote the equation in an equivalent form to avoid denominators)

Then, Ben gives 36 marbles to Timmy. So, now Ben has b-36 marbles, and Timmy has t+36 marbles. The new ratio is 1 to 3 in Timmy's favour, so we have

b-36 = \cfrac{t+36}{3} \iff 3(b-36) = t+36 \iff 3b-108 = t+36

(same as before)

So, we have the following linear system:

\begin{cases}4t=3b\\3b-108=t+36\end{cases}

From the first equation we know that 3b=4t, so the second equation becomes

4t-108=t+36 \iff 3t = 144 \iff t = \cfrac{144}{3} = 48

Now that we know the value for t, we can simply plug it into the first equation to get

3b = 4\times 48 = 192 \iff b=\cfrac{192}{3} = 64

Answer:

24 Blue beads

16 Green beads

Step-by-step explanation:

.60×40=24

.40 ×40=16

Whenever you get a percentage move the decimal two places left and multiply by the total number.

example: 2% of 20 is 2.00 of 20, so move the decimal 2 spots to the left. .002×20=.04
