Question

A bag contains 39 colored marbles. There are 6 blue marbles, 14 red marbles, 8 yellow marbles, and 11 clear marbles. What is the ratio of blue to red marbles?

Answer 1

The ratio would be 6:10 or 6/10 ( 3/5) or 0.6.

Explanation:

Why? A ratio is comparing two numbers with a fraction, colon or decimal or percent.

Well there are 6 blue marbles out of the 35 colored marbles. And there are 10 clear marbles.

The question is asking for a blue/clear. It is easy to get confused and put clear/blue. So that is why 6:10 is the ratio.
