In a bag of blow pops, 3/5 are red. if there are 35 lollipops in the bag,how many are not red
I think the answer is 14. First, since 3/5 are red, then that mean 2/5 aren't red. Then, you would set up the equation like this \(\frac{2}{5} * \frac{x}{35}\) cross multiply \(2*35\) and \(5*x\) \(=5x=70\) divide on each side and you will get \(x=14\)
