Answer:

114 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

red: black: total

19      1        19+1 = 20

We have 120 marbles

120/20 = 6

Multiply each  by 6

red: black: total

19 *6   1*6  20*6

114         6       120

Answer:

There are 114 red marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make a smaller sample of the problem to help evaluate the big one. For every 19 red, there is 1 black. That means the sample size is 20 in total since 19+1 is 20. In other words, for every 20 marbles, 19 of them are red.

Now we can look at the size of 120. 20 goes into 120 6 times. That means there are 6 times as many red marbles. 19x6=114.

There are 114 red marbles.
