Question

there are 765 marbles in a in a box. there are twice as many blue marbles as green marbles. there are 3 times as many red marbles as blue marbles, how many red marbles in the box

Answer 1

let the no. of green marbles be x
no of blue marbles = 2x
no of red marbles = 3*2x = 6x
total marbles = 765
so, x+2x+6x = 765
or, x = 765/9 = 85
no of red marbles = 6*85 = 510
