Question

There are 14 blue marbles, 8 red marbles, and 12 green marbles in a jar. what is the ratio of the total number of marbles to the number of red marbles

Answer 1

The ratio is 34/8. You add all the numbers together and you get 34 then you have 8 red marbles so it would be 34/8

Answer 2

Required Ratio = 17 : 4

Explanation:

Number of blue marbles = 14

Number of red marbles = 8

Number of green marbles = 12

Now, Total number of marbles = 14 + 8 + 12

= 34

To find the ratio of total number of marbles to the number of red marbles : Divide the total number of marbles by the number of red marbles

`\text{Hence, Required Ratio = }(34)/(8)=(17)/(4)\\\\\bf\textbf{Ratio = }17:4`
