Answer 2

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 5 out of 10 marbles that are red, then there are $10-5 =5$ marbles that aren't red.

This makes the fraction $\frac{5}{10}$. Converting a fraction to a percent is simple - divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100.

$5 \div 10 = 0.5\\\\0.5 \cdot 100 = 50$

So 50% of the marbles aren't red.

Hope this helped!
