A. 36
B. 24
C. 48
D. 14

Answer 1

48 marbles, it's C

Explanation:

why?

Because 1/6 of the marbles are white. and there are 8 white marbles. so that means, 1/6=8 marbles.

So you just get 1/6 to 6/6

so you do, 8*6 which equals to 48

Answer 2

C: 48

Explanation:

1/6 chance so multiply by 6, 8 marbles so multiply by 8, 8(6)=48
