Question

2/10 clear and 18/100 orange. The rest are red and blue. There are 2 more red marbles than blue marbles. What fraction represents the number of red and blue marbles?

Answer 1

33/100 red, 29/100 blue

Explanation:

2/10=20/100

20+18=38

38/100 orange/clear marbles

100-38=62

62 red/blue marbles

62/2=31

31 blue, 31 red

"There are 2 more red marbles than blue marbles."

31-2=29

31+2=33

33/100 red, 29/100 blue.
