a bag contains x marbles,1/2 of the marbles were red 1/5 were blue and the rest were yellow.what is the quantity of red marbles,the quantity of blue marbles and the quantity of yellow marbles.
red = .5x
blue = .2x
Yellow = .3x
This is the best I can do with your data.
To find the quantity of red marbles, blue marbles, and yellow marbles, we can use the information given in the question.
Let's start by finding the quantity of red marbles. We are told that 1/2 of the marbles in the bag are red. So, if we let "x" represent the total number of marbles, we can set up the equation:
(1/2)x = quantity of red marbles
Next, let's find the quantity of blue marbles. We are told that 1/5 of the marbles are blue. Again, using the total number of marbles "x", we can set up the equation:
(1/5)x = quantity of blue marbles
Finally, to find the quantity of yellow marbles, we need to subtract the quantities of red and blue marbles from the total number of marbles in the bag:
yellow marbles = x - (quantity of red marbles) - (quantity of blue marbles)
Now we have the equations set up to find each quantity. We can solve them by substituting the value of "x" into each equation.
