A candy store held a contest to guess the total number of jelly beans in a jar. All of the jelly beans in the jar were either green or orange. There were 1,872 jelly beans in the jar in total. There were 12 times as many green jelly beans as orange jelly beans. How many green jelly beans were in the jar?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of orange jelly beans be x , as we do not know the exact value of it yet. There are 12 times as many green jelly beans than the orange ones. So , if the number of orange jelly beans is x , the number of green jelly beans will be = 12 times x , which can be written as 12x. Now there are a total of 1872 jelly beans , but they are either orange or green , so we already know that the number of orange jbs is x , and the number of green jelly beans is 12x. So if we the green jelly beans and orange jelly beans , it should be 1872.

Now all we need to do is to find x.

We know that ,

x + 12x = 1872

Now we add x and 12x on the left hand side

13x = 1872

Now we divide both sides by 13 to get x. (That includes 1872 as well)

x = 144

Now we have the value of x which is 144

We know that the number of green jelly beans was 12 times x

So the number of green jelly beans in numeric value is : 12 * 144

As x is equal to 144

Ans . : The number of green jelly beans is 1728.

i you goofed up when writing this, because hnot is not a word minusf is not either. i cannot answer   because of that.

false

step-by-step explanation:

rulers and compasses arent required in order to bisect an angle because when bisecting angles, you're making a "half circle" and considering in order to bisect an angle it wouldn't be straight, you wouldn't need either of the two
