anonymous · Answer

$$15+20+12+8=55$$ i believe
solve$$\frac{20}{55}=\frac{x}{22}$$ for $x$

anonymous · Answer

Is it b or a?

anonymous · Answer

beware of answers with no explanation
they are frequently wrong, and in any case you will have no idea if it is right or not

anonymous · Answer

Because if there are 20 yellow beans and 22 are pulled out, 20 jelly beans is possible

anonymous · Answer
