3:5

3 to 5

 3
-----
 5

First we will divide to see who many sets of orange there are in the bag.

24 ÷ 3 = 8

Since there are 8 sets of orange we will multiply 8 by 5 since for every 3 orange marbles there are 5 blue marbles. 

8 × 5 = 40

SO, a bag contains 24 orange marbles and 40 blue marbles.

The access code for a​ car's security system consists of five digits. the first digit cannot be 1 and the last digit must be eve
velikii [3]

There are 10 single digit numbers that can be used for each digit.

The first digit cannot be 1 , so that leaves 9 other possibilities.

The last digit must be even, so it can be 0, 2, 4,6, 8 ( 5 possibilities).

The 3 middle numbers can be any digit ( 10 numbers)

To find total combinations multiply all the possible numbers for each digit:

9 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 5 = 45,000 possibilities.
