Question

In a bag of blow pops, 3/5 are red. if there are 35 lollipops in the bag,how many are not red

Answer 1

I think the answer is 14. First, since 3/5 are red, then that mean 2/5 aren't red. Then, you would set up the equation like this
`(2)/(5) * (x)/(35)` cross multiply
`2*35` and
`5*x`
`=5x=70` divide on each side and you will get
`x=14`

Answer 2

35 ÷ 5 × 3 = 21 red and 14 not red
