There are 514 red blue and green beads. The number of red beads is thrice the number of blue beads. There are 46 more blue beads than green beads. How many green beads are there?

Answer 1

Let's first represent the number of blue beads as x.

Since the number of red beads is three times the number of blue beads, the number of red beads is 3x.

It is given that there are 46 more blue beads than green beads, so the number of blue beads is x+46.

Now, we can form an equation based on the total number of beads:
x + 3x + x + 46 = 514
5x + 46 = 514
5x = 514 - 46
5x = 468
x = 468 / 5
x = 93

Therefore, the number of green beads is x, which is 93.
