There are 42 more red marbles in a jar than there are white marbles. If there are 238 marbles in the jar, how many of them are red and how many are white?

red marbles = 140

White marbles = 98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of white marbles be represented by x

Since there are 42 more red marbles in a jar than there are white marbles, red marbles will be: = x + 42

Since there are 238 marbles in the jar, this can be represented in an equation as:

x + x+42 = 238

2x + 42 = 238

2x = 238 - 42

2x = 196

x = 196/2

x = 98

White marbles = 98

Red marbles = x + 42

= 98 + 42

= 140

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
