Split the fifteen into five parts (3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15). Take away 1/5th (3 marbles) leaving four fifths. Therefore, there should be four fifths (which equals 12 marbles) remaining.

How can you determine density of a mrble?

Use a scale to find the mass of several marbles. Put some water in a graduated cylinder. Take a reading. Place all the marbles in the grad. cylinder with the water, which will rise. Take another reading. Make sure the marbles are completely submerged. Subtract the 2 readings. This gives the volume of the marbles. This is called the water displacement method. Divide mass by volume. This gives you the density.
