Question

Ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is 2:3. If there are 6 red marbles, how many blue marbles are there

Answer 1

Answer:

6:9

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume the relationship between the amount of blue and red marbles are proportional. If there are 6 red marbles , then we would need need to find out how much times you multiplied 2 by to get.

6/2 is 3, which means that you multiplied the red marbles by 3 to get 6 of them.

Since the relationship between red and blue marbles is equivalent, we just need to multiply the blue marbles by 3 as well, to even it out.

3x3=9

There are 9 blue marbles if there are 6 red marbles.
