1. **State the problem:** There are 50 jellybeans in a bag. - 1/5 of the jellybeans are blue. - 3/10 of the jellybeans are green. - The rest are yellow. We need to find how many jellybeans of each color there are and determine which statements are true. 2. **Calculate the number of blue jellybeans:** $$\text{Blue} = \frac{1}{5} \times 50 = 10$$ 3. **Calculate the number of green jellybeans:** $$\text{Green} = \frac{3}{10} \times 50 = 15$$ 4. **Calculate the number of yellow jellybeans:** First, find the total of blue and green jellybeans: $$10 + 15 = 25$$ Then subtract from total jellybeans: $$50 - 25 = 25$$ So, there are 25 yellow jellybeans. 5. **Check the statements:** - "There are 20 yellow jellybeans in the bag." → False (yellow = 25) - "There are 25 yellow jellybeans in the bag." → True - "There are 15 green jellybeans in the bag." → True - "There are 20 green jellybeans in the bag." → False (green = 15) - "There are 10 blue jellybeans in the bag." → True - "There are 12 blue jellybeans in the bag." → False (blue = 10) **Final true statements:** - There are 25 yellow jellybeans in the bag. - There are 15 green jellybeans in the bag. - There are 10 blue jellybeans in the bag.
