Question

I have a bag containing red, green, blue, and white marbles and the ratio $\text{red}:\text{green}:\text{blue}:\text{white}$ is $2:2:5:7$. I have 304 marbles. How many blue marbles do I have?

Answer 1

Answer:

95

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 2x be how many red/green marbles there are,

let 5x be how many blue marbles there are, and

let 7x be how many white marbles there are.

2x + 2x + 5x + 7x = 304

16x = 304

x = 19

As 5x is defined as how many blue marbles there are, we could just plug x for 19:

5*19 = 95

I hope this helped, and if it did please consider giving me brainliest :)
