Question

In a bag, there are red and green marbles in the ratio of 3 : 9. If there are 36 marbles in the bag, how many of them are green?

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 3/9 can be simplified down to 1/3. So now we have to basically find the amount 1/3 takes up in the number 36.

1/3 of the number 36 can be determined if we divide 36 by the denominator of 1/3. 36 divided by 3 is equal to 12. Our answer is 12.
