Answer:

Green marble = 25

Yellow marbles = 30

Red marbles= 15

Blue marbles= 40

Step-by-step explanation:

✓There are 25 green marbles in a jar.

which means the 25 green marbles in a jar can be divided into 5sets of marbles

✓We are told from the question, For every 5 green marbles, there are 6 yellow marbles, Then to know the number of hello marble it will be (5sets of green marbles)× ( 6 yellow marbles, )= 30 yellow marbles.

✓We are told that For every 1 red marble, there are 2 yellow marbles

Then, since there is 30 yellow marbles, the red marbles will be 30 marbles/2 yellow marbles= 15 red marbles.

✓From the question, The total number of red marbles and green marbles equals the number of blue marbles.

15 red marbles.+25 green marbles=40 blue marbles.

Therefore, Green marble = 25

Yellow marbles = 30

Red marbles= 15

Blue marbles= 40
