Question

Each marble bag sold by Lashonda's Marble Company contains 8 orange marbles for every 5 red marbles. If a bag has 45 red marbles, how many orange marbles does the bag contain?

Answer 1

72 orange marbles

Explanation:

First, divide 45 by 5 to determine how many red units there are. Then, use that number (9) to multiply with 8 to get the number of orange marbles, which is 72.
