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.
