Answer 1

6 marbles

Explanation:

Shirly has 4 bags with 3 marbles in each

This means each bag has 3 marbles.

In 4 bags, Shirly has: 4*3 = 12 marbles

Maryanne has 6 bags with 3 marbles in each

This means each bag has 3 marbles.

In 6 bags, Maryanne has: 6*3 = 18 marbles

Hence, Maryanne has extra marbles than Shirly: 18-12 = 6 marbles
