I think of this like a fraction where as the number of red marbles is X.

the numerator is blue marbles and the denominator is red marbles

3/2 = 12/x

How many times does 3 go into 12?
Answer 4 times.

4 x 2 = X

Final Answer 8

There are 8 red marbles.

Please mark brainliest.

You need to make a proportion.  Then cross multiply and divide to find your answer.

blue  3     12
red    2      x

(2)(12) = 3x
24  = 3x
x = 8

There are 8 red marbles

Suppose you charge $4.50/h for baby-sitting. How much will you earn baby-sitting for 3 1/2 hours?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

You will earn $15.75, $13.50, or $18 depending on how you are getting paid

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are getting paid a flat rate not by the hour, then simply multiply $3.50 by 3.5 to get $15.75

If you are getting paid by the hour, and only by full hours, the you get $3.50 for the first, second, and third hour, but not for the fourth hour because it has only been a half hour, so only $13.50.

If you are getting paid for each hour that you start, then you get $3.50 for four hours, or $18.00 total
