Valeria is weighing blue and red beads. All beads together weigh 1,445 ounces. The blue beads weigh 1.41 ounces. How much do the red beads weigh? Enter your response as a decimal
Let the weight of the red beads be x.
So, the total weight is x + 1.41 ounces.
We know that the total weight is 1,445 ounces.
Therefore, we have the equation:
x + 1.41 = 1,445
Subtracting 1.41 from both sides of the equation, we get:
x = 1,445 - 1.41
x = 1,443.59
So, the red beads weigh 1,443.59 ounces.
