Question

Please help me!!! A bag is filled with small and large marbles. The ratio of small to large marbles is 1:3. If there are eight more large marbles than small marbles, how many total marbles are in the bag?

Answer 1

10 Marbles in total

A ratio is pretty much a diversity between two things.
