carrie has 340 marbles to put in vases. the vases hold either 100 or 10 marbles each. which is away she can arrange the marbles
well, 340 = 3x100 + 4x10
That help?
3hundred 40 tens
3 hundred 40 tens there is the answer that help you a lot im only in 1st grade true i did very well on a math test and this question was on the test
To determine the different ways Carrie can arrange the marbles, we need to consider the possible combinations of vases she can use to hold the marbles.
Let's break down the problem:
Carrie has 340 marbles.
She has two types of vases:
1. Vases that can hold 100 marbles each.
2. Vases that can hold 10 marbles each.
To find the different ways she can arrange the marbles, we can use a systematic approach:
Step 1: Start with the maximum number of vases that can hold 100 marbles.
Dividing 340 by 100, we get the maximum number of vases that can hold 100 marbles: 340 / 100 = 3 vases.
So, Carrie can use 3 vases that hold 100 marbles each, which gives us option 1:
(Vase 1: 100 marbles, Vase 2: 100 marbles, Vase 3: 100 marbles).
Step 2: Now, we need to consider the remaining marbles that couldn't fill up any of the vases that hold 100 marbles.
340 - (3 x 100) = 40 marbles remain.
Step 3: Divide the remaining marbles by 10 to see how many vases that hold 10 marbles each we can use.
Dividing 40 by 10, we get the number of vases that can hold the remaining marbles: 40 / 10 = 4 vases.
So, Carrie can use 4 vases that hold 10 marbles each, which gives us option 2:
(Vase 1: 100 marbles, Vase 2: 100 marbles, Vase 3: 100 marbles, Vase 4: 10 marbles, Vase 5: 10 marbles, Vase 6: 10 marbles, Vase 7: 10 marbles).
In total, Carrie has two different ways to arrange the marbles:
1. Three vases that hold 100 marbles each.
2. Four vases that hold 10 marbles each.
These arrangements are the only two ways she can arrange the marbles using the given vases.
