Answer:
There will be 49 Stones
Step-by-step explanation:
the ratio of marbles to stone is 6:7 and we have 42 marbles
42:6=7
7*7=49
Answer:
The ratio of marbles to stones in a large pot is 6 to 7. If there are 42 marbles, then the total number of stones is 49
Solution:
Let the no of marble be 6x and number of stones be 7x.
In the question it is given that there are 42 marbles which means
6x = 42
We will now find the value of x by dividing 42 by 6
x = [tex]\frac{42}{6}[/tex]
x = 7
Now putting the value of x = 7 in number of stones which is equal to 7x, we get
Number of stones = 7 [tex]\times[/tex] 7 = 49.
The total number of stones = 49
