12 blue marbles


If the ratio of red to blue marbles in a bag of 600 marbles was 7 to 5 how many marbles were blue?

250 Here's how: 1. Add the ratio: 7 + 5 = 12 2. Divide the total no. of marbles (600) by 12 = 50 3. The total no. of reds = 7 x 50 = 350 4. The total no. of blues = 5 x 50 = 250 (Total blues & reds = 350 + 250 = 600)


How do you Write a combination problem and solve it?

A combination problem essentially asks for two answers from different mathematical areas. A simple example could be, "A boy has a bag of marbles. Four marbles are blue. Three marbles are red. Five marbles are white. How many marbles does he have all together? What are the chances of picking a blue marble at random?" The two areas being addressed are simple addition and probability. There are a total of 12 marbles. There is a 1:3 chance of picking a blue marble at random.


If a bag contains 4 black 6 green and 2 yellow marbles and one marble is randomly drawn what is the probability that it is not black?

There are 8 marbles that aren't black, out of a total of 12 marbles, so the probability is 8/12 or 2/3.
