Let R and B be the number of red and blue marbles respectively.
Then,
R+B = 36
R:B = 5:4
Therefore,
Ratio of red marbles = 5/9
Ratio of blue marbles = 4/9
This means,
R = 5/9*36 = 20 marbles
B = 4/9*36 = 16 marbles
If one blue marble is removed from the bag, the new B= 16-1 = 15 blue marbles and the new total of marbles in the bag = 36-1 = 35 marbles.
The new ratios are
R = 20/35 =4/7
B = 15/35 = 3/7
That is, R:B = 4:3
The reasoning of the student is wrong. When a marble is removed, both the number of blue marbles changes as well as the total of the marbles in the bag. In other words, both the values in the ratio reduce by 1.
Greatest common factor or GCF is the greatest factor that divides two numbers. So the get the greatest common factor of the 4k 18k and 12 you need to list the prime factors of each number then multiply both numbers have in common. So the greatest common factor of the numbers is 2
