Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the number of blue and red marbles Jaxson has, you can use the given ratio of blue to red marbles, which is
11:5.

Total parts in the ratio:
11+5=16

Blue marbles:
11/16×80(as there are 11 parts for blue out of 16 total parts)

Red marbles:
5/16×80 (as there are 5 parts for red out of 16 total parts)

Now, calculate these values:

Number of blue marbles:
11/16×80 =55
Number of red marbles:
5/16×80=25


Therefore, Jaxson has 55 blue marbles and 25 red marbles.

Answer 2

Answer: 55 blue marbles and 25 red marbles.

Explanation:

It is given that the ratio of blue marbles to red marbles is 11:5, meaning that for every 11 blue marbles, Jaxson has 5 red ones. This means that the pattern repeats for every 16 marble colors (11+5=16).

80 marbles / 16 marbles per repeating pattern = 5 times

This means that within the 80 marbles, the ratio happens 5 times. Next, we can multiply this value by the ratio to see how many of each marble colour he has.

11:5 * 5 ➜ 55:25 ➜ 55 blue marbles and 25 red marbles.
