Stacia has 28 red and blue marbles. The ratio of red to blue marbles is 1:6. How many blue marbles does Stacia have?

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number marbles Stacia has = 28

The ratio of red to blue marbles = 1 : 6

As the total number of marbles is 28. Thus,

r + b = 28

As the ratio of red to blue marbles is 1 to 6.

It means for each red marble 'r', we have 6 blue 'b' marbles. Thus,

b = 6r

now substituting b = 6r in the equation r + b = 28

r + b = 28

r + 6r = 28

7r = 28

divide both sides by 7

7r/7 = 28/7

r = 4

Thus,

The total number of red marbles ⇒ r = 4

The total number of blue marbles ⇒ b = 6r = 6(4) = 24

Therefore,

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

9 would be a solution of the inequality x>5 because x can represent any number, but because there is a > between x and 5, that means that whatever number x represents is greater than 5, and because 9 is greater than 5, it is a solution to the inequality.

Hope this helps :)
