Fractions and proportions

If one-quarter of the counters in a tub are red and the rest are green, then there are three-quarter of the counter in the tub.

Let the total counter be x such that

3/4x = 48

3x = 4 * 48

x = 4 * 16

x = 64

Determine the amount of red counter

Red counter = 64 - 48

Red counter = 16

Hence there are 16 red counters there.
