dalia bought a few swirl marbles and divided it equally among four of her friends and her brother, jake. while playing, Jake lost two marbles and has only 7 marbles at present. find how many marbles did Dalai have in all\



Answer :

To find out how many marbles Dalia had in total, we need to calculate the number of marbles Jake lost.

Given that Jake lost two marbles and currently has seven marbles, we can determine the number of marbles Dalia had by adding the number of marbles Jake has to the number of marbles he lost.

Let's calculate:

Total marbles Jake has = 7
Marbles Jake lost = 2

Total marbles Dalia had = Total marbles Jake has + Marbles Jake lost

Total marbles Dalia had = 7 + 2 = 9

Therefore, Dalia had a total of 9 marbles.
