Question

I need to know how to work this out: 24 red marbles is 40% of ______ marbles.

Answer 1

60 marbles, to get the answer you need to put it in this way:
`(4)/(10)` x = 24, you multiply the smaller amount (24) by the reciprocal of 40%, which would be
`(10)/(4)` , then you get 60. If you have any other questions, let me know!
