Answer:
Shelia has 60 red beads
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of beads = 75
We need to find the number of red beads and green beads.
Solution:
Let the number of green beads be denoted by 'g'.
Now given;
The number of red beads Shelia has is four times as many as the number of green beads she has.
Number of red beads = [tex]4g[/tex]
Now we know that;
Total number of beads is equal to sum of number of red beads and number of green beads.
framing in equation form we get;
[tex]g+4g=75\\\\5g =75[/tex]
Dividing both side by 5 we get;
[tex]\frac{5g}{5}=\frac{75}{5}\\\\g= 15[/tex]
Number of green bead =15
Number of red beads = [tex]4g =4 \times15 =60[/tex]
Hence Shelia has 60 red beads.
