What is the probability of selecting 4 red or 5blue marbles?

The probability of selecting 4 red marbles or 5 blue marbles depends on how many marbles there are altogether, and how many of the total number of marbles are red and how many are blue.


What is the number of each colour of marbles in a bag of 76 marbles if the ratio of red marbles to green marbles is 2 to 3 and the ratio of green marbles to blue marbles is 9 to 4?

The ratios are: red : green = 2 : 3 = (2×3) : (3×3) = 6 : 9 green : blue = 9 : 4 → ratio of red : green : blue = 6 : 9 : 4 There are 6 + 9 + 4 = 19 parts 76 marbles ÷ 19 parts = 4 marbles per part → red: 6 parts = 6 × 4 marbles per part = 24 red marbles → green: 9 parts = 9 × 4 marbles per part = 36 green marbles → blue: 4 parts = 4 × 4 marbles per part = 16 blue marbles To check: red + green + blue = 24 marbles + 36 marbles + 16 marbles = 76 marbles in the bag.

This problem doesn't lead to a whole number solution. Are you sure you copied it correctly? Maybe you meant the ratio is 4 to 3. In that case: red/blue = 4/3 blue/red = 3/4 blue = (3 * red) / 4 = (3 * 16) / 4 = 12 blue marbles

The number of red marbles varies inversely as the square of the number of blue marbles when there were 4 reds there were 20 blues How many reds would there be if there were only 4 blues?

Indirect variation: the numbers of red marbles = k/the square of blue marbles, where k is the coefficient of the variation. 4 = k/202 4 = k/400 1600 = k Let the number of red marbles be x. x = k/42 x = 1600/16 x = 100 Thus, if there were 4 blue marbles, would be 100 red marbles.

Explain how four red marbles can make up 13 of a group of marbles and three blue marbles make up 14 of the same group?

If four red marbles make up a total of 13 marbles, each red marble is worth 13/4 = 3.25 marbles. Similarly, if three blue marbles make up 14 marbles, each blue marble is worth 14/3 = 4.67 marbles. This situation indicates a problem or inconsistency in the given information as it's not possible for the same marble to have different values based on color.
