Question

Each marble bag sold by Josh's Marble Company contains 7 yellow marbles for every 5 red marbles. If a bag has 25 red marbles, how many yellow marbles does
it contain?

Answer 1

5 red : 7 yellow
25 red: ? Yellow

5 x 5 is 25 therefore the multiplier is 5
We multiply 7 by 5 which is 35

Therefore 24 red : 35 yellow

35 yellow marbles
