Question

Felicia used 153 yellow beads and some green beads for her art project. She used 9 times as many yellow beads as green beads. How many green beads did she use for the project

Answer 1

17 green beads

Explanation:

Firstly, we assign variables. Let the number of yellow beads used be y and the number of green beads used be g

We are made to know that she used 9 times as many yellow beads as green beads.

Now, to find the number of green beads she used, we simply need to divide the total number of green beads she used by 9

Mathematically, the number of green beads she used is thus 153/9 = 17
