Answer:
1/63
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to do this.
<h3>1) </h3>
Look for the GCF of the numerators when a common denominator is used.
GCF(3/7, 4/9) = GCF(27/63, 28/63) = (1/63)·GCF(27, 28)
GCF(3/7, 4/9) = 1/63
__
<h3>2) </h3>
Use Euclid's algorithm. If the remainder from division of the larger by the smaller is zero, then the smaller is the GCF; otherwise, the remainder replaces the larger, and the algorithm repeats.
(4/9)/(3/7) = 1 remainder 1/63*
(3/7)/(1/63) = 27 remainder 0
The GCF is 1/63.
__
* The quotient is 28/27 = 1 +1/27 = 1 +(1/27)(3/7)/(3/7) = 1 +(1/63)/(3/7) or 1 with a remainder of 1/63.

<em>Additional comment</em>
3/7 = (1/63) × 27
4/9 = (1/63) × 28
The equation of a elipse:
The length of the major axis is equal 2a if a > b or 2b if b > a.
We have
therefore the length of the major axis is equal 2 · 7 = 14.
Answer:
first get the total ratio; 2 + 5 = 7
so the fraction of blue marbles is 5/7
then assume the number of total marbles to be k
then use the expression;
5/7*k = 65
7*5/7 * k = 65*7
5k =455
5/5k = 455/5
k = 91
then calculate the number if red marbles from;
x = 2/7*91
x = 26
Therefore there are 26 red marbles.
