Question

There are 60 marbles in a bowl. 1/3 of them is red, 1/4 is blue and the rest has now colour. How many marbles have no colour?

Answer 1

Answer:25

Step-by-step explanation: since 1/3 of the marbles is red, we’ll divide 60 by 3, which equals 20. Since 1/4th are blue, we’ll do 60/4=15. 20+15=35. We’re finding the amount with no color, so subtract 35 from 60. We have 25

Answer 2

Answer:

25 marbles have no colour

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

• Marbles that are red =
• $\frac{1}{3} \times 60 = 20$
• Marbles that are blue =
• $\frac{1}{4} \times 60 = 15$
• Remaining marbles =
• $60 - 20 - 15 = 25$

Therefore 25 marbles have no colour
