Answer: 3 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, 6 yellow marbles, 8 black marbles, 4 silver marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
I know these are the correct number of marbles because I set up these numbers as fractions and solved for x.
For examples, 2/16 of the marbles are red. 2/16=x/24
You would do this because we are trying to find the number of marbles that are red out of the 24 marbles.
Next, we would do 24 divided by 16= 1.5 Then 1.5 times 2=3
You would follow this rule for each fraction of marbles in order to find the true number of marbles out of 24.
