Question

There are 56 red and yellow balls in a bag. The number of red balls is six times the number of yellow balls. The number of yellow balls is......?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 yellow balls

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of balls = 56

Let the Number of yellow balls be x

Number of red balls is 6 times the Number of yellow balls, i.e. 6x

So, by adding 1 and 2

x + 6x = 56

7x = 56

x = 56/7

x = 8

Yellow balls = x

= 8
