Question

There are 56 m&ms in a bag. They are all red or blue with a ratio of 3:4. How many blue m&ms are there?

32
24
56
36

Answer 1

32

Explanation:

3+4 = 7, 56/7 = 8, 8 * 4 = 32

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf 32\ m\&ms}`

Explanation:

Red m&ms = 3x

Blue m&ms = 4x

Condition given:

3x + 4x = 56 (x being the unknown)

7x = 56

Divide 7 to both sides

x = 56 / 7

x = 8

So,

Blue m&ms = 4 (8) = 32 m&ms

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Hope this helped!
