Question

A jar contains 21 marbles: 8 white, 3 green, and 10 red. Write the described ratio in simplest form.

A. number of white marbles to number of green marbles.

Answer 1

The question you posted was a bit confusing for me, but I'm assuming that you want the simplified ratio of the number of white marbles to the number of green marbles.

The answer would be 8:3.

Explanation:

There are 8 white marbles and 3 green marbles, so you get 8:3. And since 8 and 3 are relatively prime, no simplifying is needed.

The answer is 8:3.
