Answer:
If a bag contains 4 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 7 green marbles and a marble is randomly selected from the bag, what is the probability that it is blue? P=3/(3+4+7)=3/14 because each of 14 marbles is equally likely to be drawn.
Step-by-step explanation:
The grasshopper is 5X+2-(2x-1)=3x+3 inches longer than the spider.
0.1 repeating as a fraction is 1/9
8th grade = 3x = 3(47) = 141 band members.
7th + 8th = 188
7th = x
8th = 3x
x + 3x = 188 ; x = 47 ; 47 + 3(47) = 47 + 141 = 188
4x = 188
4x / 4 = 188 / 4
x = 47 --> 7th grade
8th grade = 3x = 3(47) = 141
To check:
x + 3x = 188 ; x = 47 ;
47 + 3(47) = 188
47 + 141 = 188
188 = 188
