A bag contains 120 total marbles. Some are red and the rest are black. For every 8 total marbles, 3 of them are red . How many red marbles are in the bag?

114

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of red marbles to black marbles is 19:1. (Data from 3rd sentence)

19+1= 20

20 units= 120 (Data from 1st sentence)

1 unit= 120/20= 6

19 units= 120-6= 114 (Values solved in working above)

Ans: There are 114 red marbles.

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°

what is the answer?
