Question

A bag contains 48 marbles. The ratio of red marbles to black marbles is 5 to 3. How many RED marbles are in the bag?

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf 30\ marbles}`

Explanation:

Total marbles = 48

Ratio of red marbles to black marbles = 5 : 3

Total ratio = 5+3 = 8

Red Marbles:

=
`\sf (5)/(8) * 48`

= 5 * 6

= 30 marbles

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Hope this helped!
