Christov has a bag of marbles. 1/8 of the marbles are red, and 3/10 of the marbles are green. How many marbles could be in Christov's bag? 30, 40, 24, 32 Select all that apply

The number has to be a multiple of 8 and 10 because the marbles cannot be a fraction and have to be divided evenly.
LCM of 8 and 10: 40
So only 40, the rest of them either don't divide by 8 or by 10.
