Question

If x and y are numbers, which weighs more: x blue marbles or y red marbles?
1. x = 5 y
2. Red marbles weigh 1 gram each

Answer 1

Blue marble weights more because weight of 1 blue marble (X) is equal to weight of five red marbles (Y).

Weight of red marble = 1 gm each.

And

X = 5Y

X = 5(1)

X = 5gm each

Weight of blue marble = 5gm each.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Hola user!!!

Blue marble weighs more because:-

1 red marble = 1 gram

1 blue marble = 5y = 5(1) = 5

1 blue marble = 5 gram

So, blue marbles weighs more.
