How is a rate different than a ratio?
the rate of something is the amount or speed of it, whereas the ratio is the proportion of one thing to another, like for example if there was 15 sweets in a bag; 10 red and 5 blue, so the ratio of red sweets to blue would be 2 to 1. Kthanks.

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.
