Respuesta :

Answer; 60

Step-by-step explanation:

solution:

here,

4 cars = 12 marbles

1 car = 12/4. = 3 marbles

then,

20 cars = 3(20) marbles

= 60 marbles

We can make this into a fraction  4/12 = 20/x

Then, we will solve for x

4x = 240    cross multiply

x = 60

Joe collects 60 marbles after collecting 20 cars.

The Multiplicative Inverse Property is being used.
