The ratio is 2:5 red beads to blue beads. If you have a TOTAL of 21 beads, how many are red, and how many are blue beads?

Number of red beads = 6

Number of blue beads = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of total beads = 21

Ratio of red beads to the blue beads = 2 : 5

Therefore, number of red beads I have =

                                                                  =

                                                                  = 6 beads

Number of blue beads =

                                      =

                                      = 15 beads

Therefore, number of red beads = 6

And number of blue beads = 15

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
