Question

Lana has 4 bags with the same amount of marbles in them, totaling 14 marbles. Markus has 4 bags with the same amount of marbles in them, totaling 20 marbles. How many more marbles does Markus have in each bag?

Answer 1

Let's call the number of marbles in each bag "x". We can set up two equations based on the given information:

4x = 14 (for Lana)

4x = 20 (for Markus)

Solving for x in each equation, we get:

x = 14/4 = 3.5 (for Lana)

x = 20/4 = 5 (for Markus)

So Markus has 5 marbles in each bag, which is 1.5 more marbles per bag than Lana.

Answer 2

Lana: 4 / 14 = 3.5
Markus: 4 / 20 = 5

I'm not completely sure how they can have the same amount of marbles for both of them but... Markus does have 2.5 more than Lana in each bag.

Hope this helps <3
