Answer:

There are 5 red Marbles

Explanation:

Alright so since the probability of drawing a red marble is

P(Red) = #Outcomes of Red/#Outcomes in Sample space

The sample Space is 40 marbles.

The probability of drawing red was said to be
(1)/(8)

P(Red) =
(1)/(8)

$P(Red) = (r)/(40)\\ (1)/(8) = (r)/(40)\\ (40)/(8) = r\\ 5 = r$
