Question

There are 60 marbles in a bowl. Their colors are red, blue, and yellow. 1/3 of the marbles are yellow, 1/4 of the marbles are blue. How many red marbles are there in the bowl

Answer 1

Answer: 25 red marbles

Explanation:

Fraction of yellow marbles = 1/3

Fraction of blue marbles = 1/4

Fraction of red marbles = 1 - (1/3 + 1/4) = 5/12

Therefore, the number of red marbles that are there in the bowl would be:

= 5/12 × 60

= 25 red marbles
