Question

The number of beads shelia has is four times as many as the number of green beads she has there are 75 red bead and green beads how many red beads does shelia have

Answer 1

Shelia has 60 red beads

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of beads = 75

We need to find the number of red beads and green beads.

Solution:

Let the number of green beads be denoted by 'g'.

Now given;

The number of red beads Shelia has is four times as many as the number of green beads she has.

Number of red beads =
`4g`

Now we know that;

Total number of beads is equal to sum of number of red beads and number of green beads.

framing in equation form we get;

`g+4g=75\\\\5g =75`

Dividing both side by 5 we get;

`(5g)/(5)=(75)/(5)\\\\g= 15`

Number of green bead =15

Number of red beads =
`4g =4 *15 =60`

Hence Shelia has 60 red beads.
