Question

Helena lost her marbles. But then she found them and put them in 4 bags with mm marbles in each bag. She had 3 marbles left over that didn't fit in the bags. How many marbles does Helena have in all?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is (4m+3) marbles.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Helena had some marbles which she lost. After some time, she found the marbles and decided to put them in bags.

She put 'm' number of marbles in each of the 4 bags, so the total number of marbles she put in the 4 bags = 4m marbles.

Also, she left with 3 marbles which didn't fit in the bags.

Therefore, the total number of marbles that Helena have in all

= 4m + 3.

Thus, the number of marbles is (4m+3).

Answer 2

4m +3 marbles does Helena have in all.

Explanation:

Here, m represents the marble in each bag.

She put them in 4 bags with m marbles in each bag.

In each bag she have m marbles

then, in 4 bag she have 4m marbles

⇒total number of marbles= 4m

Since, she had 3 marbles left over.

⇒She have total number of marbles = 4m + 3

Therefore, 4m +3 marbles does Helena have in all.
