Answer 1

x= Dan's marbles

Leah = x+28

I translate the statement in math by this equation:

(x+28)/3 = 4x/5

3*4x = 5(x+28)

12x = 5x+140

12x-5x=140

7x= 140

x= 20

Dan has 20 marbles

Leah has 48 marbles

we check:

1/3 of Leah's number of marbles = 48/3 = 16 is equal to 4/5 of Dan's marbles: (20*4)/5=16
