Question

A bag contains 90 marbles, some red and some blue. If there are 60 blue marbles, what is the ratio of blue to red marbles?

Answer 1

If there is a total of 90 marbles, and we know that there is 60 blue marbles. We can assume that the remaining 30 marbles are red therefore the ratio of red to red marbles would be 60÷30, which is 2. Or the ratio is 60:30 which is reduced to 2:1.
