Answer 1

A bag contains the following marbles:Complete each statement. Complete the **ratio** statement: For every 1 red marble, there are 2 yellow marbles.A **ratio** that **compares** the yellow marbles to the green marbles is 3:2 to 3 : 4 is the **ratio** of the red marbles to green marbles.Complete the ratio statement: For every 1 blue marble, there are 2 green marbles.3/2 Represents the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles.4 to 15 is the ratio of green to the total number of marbles.In the ratio of yellow marbles to blue marbles, 6 : 2, the quantities 6 and 2 are called terms. A ratio compares one term to another term.

Explanation:

First, take the amount of marbles in each color:

3 red, 2 blue, 6 yellow, and 4 green

Now, for the statements, we can compare the numbers.

For the first, we take x as the variable, forming the proportion 1:x = 3:6. Ww can cross multiply to get 3x = 6. x=2, so there are 2 yellows for every red.

Now, apply this strategy for all the statements.

hope this helps :)
