3/5 of the balls in a box are red . The rest are green and red .The ratio of the number of balls to the number of yellow balls is 5:3 .If there are 10 less balls yellow balls than green balls , how many balls are red?

Hello this question is impossible ask your teacher or find if you didnt make any mistake copying this HW.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 3x/5 red balls but next sentence is talking about that Yellow balls have to be in ratio 5:3 but it is impossible because Red balls + Yellow balls would make 6x/5 of balls which is not possible  

not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

it ant be possibe as the answer would come out as 6x/5 which is incorrect.

sorry

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.
