Answer:
50 yellow marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Information:
170 marbles
RED : BLUE : YELLOW
9 : 3 : 5
Solving:
To find out how many yellow parts there are, we need to find out how many marbles 5 parts account to.
Altogether, 9 + 3 + 5 = 17. This means there are 17 parts.
The bag contains 170 marbles and the ratio adds up to 17 parts.
We can figure out what 1 part of the ratio accounts to by dividing 170 by 17.
= 10.
1 part = 10
Now remember yellow is 5 parts, now that we know that 1 part is 10, we need to multiply 10 by 5 to find out how many yellow marbles we have.
5 x 10 = 50.
Therefore we have 50 yellow marbles.
