The median is usually preferred in these situations because the value of the mean can be distorted by the outliers. However, it will depend on how influential the outliers are. If they do not significantly distort the mean, using the mean as the measure of central tendency will usually be preferred.
Each of the rectangles is equal to 30 square ft so 30 x 3 = 90 and each triangle is equal to 3 square ft so 90+ (3 x 2) = 96 sq. ft.
So if the ratio is 4:5, we know that this total amount of marbles must first be split into 9 equal parts:

Now we know that each 'part' is going to be equal to 7 marbles.
So then in the ratio, we are simply going to multiply each side by 7:

Therefore, since John had the part of '5' in the ratio, the amount of marbles that John got was 35.
