I don not now how to do this
Ivan has 49 blue beads
Of course, I can help you with that problem!
To find the number of blue beads that Ivan has, we first need to set up an equation based on the information given.
Let's use the variable "x" to represent the number of red beads that Ivan has. According to the problem, Ivan has 6 times as many blue beads as red beads. So, the number of blue beads can be represented as 6x.
We also know that the total number of red and blue beads is 49. Therefore, we can create an equation:
x + 6x = 49
Adding the number of red beads (x) and the number of blue beads (6x) should equal 49.
Now, we can simplify the equation:
7x = 49
To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 7:
7x/7 = 49/7
x = 7
This means that Ivan has 7 red beads.
To find the number of blue beads, we can substitute the value of x back into our equation:
6x = 6 * 7 = 42
So, Ivan has 42 blue beads.
Therefore, Ivan has a total of 42 blue beads.
r + 6r = 49
7r = 49
r = 7
He has 7 blue beads.
