Question

Marlin's marble jar had 36 red marbles and 64 blue marbles. What was the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in the jar?

Answer 1

To get the ratio between red and blue we have to put number of red marbles into numerator and number of blue into denominator, and then simplify the fraction.

`(36)/(64)= (36:4)/(64:4)= (9)/(16) =` or 9:16 - its the answer
