Given:
Total number of marbles in the bag = 150
There are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles.
To find:
The number of blue marbles in the bag.
Solution:
Since, there are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles, therefore the ratio of blue marble to white marbles is 21:4.
Let the number of blue marbles be 21x and white marbles be 4x.
Total number of marbles in the bag = 150
Divide both sides by 25.
Now,
Therefore, the number of blue marbles is 126.
