Question

There are 3 red markers for every 4 blue markers in an art set. The total number of red markers and blue markers is 84. How many red markers are there

Answer 1

Because there is 3 red for every 4 blue and a total of 84 then we add both of them which gives you 7 and the you divide your total by 7 which give you 12 so 3:4 you multiply 3•12 because we’re finding red so our answer is 36
