The ratio of coloured papers to wight papers is 3:8.If there are 48 wight papers, how many coloured papers are there?

 The total number of colored papers is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The ratio of coloured papers to wight papers is 3:8.

Let total number of colored papers = 3x

and total number of wight papers = 8x

Since, there are 48 wight papers , then

Now , number of colored papers = 3(6)=18

Hence, the total number of colored papers is 18.

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
