A bag contains 120 marbles, some red and some blue. If there are 80 blue marbles, what is the ratio of red to blue marbles?
wtf you just say blake for the stupid question.
(120-80):80
To find the ratio of red to blue marbles, you need to determine the number of red marbles.
Given that the bag contains a total of 120 marbles and that there are 80 blue marbles, you can subtract the number of blue marbles from the total to find the number of red marbles.
Total marbles = Red marbles + Blue marbles
120 = Red marbles + 80
To solve for Red marbles, you can rearrange the equation:
Red marbles = Total marbles - Blue marbles
Red marbles = 120 - 80
Red marbles = 40
So, there are 40 red marbles.
To find the ratio of red to blue marbles, divide the number of red marbles by the number of blue marbles:
Ratio of red to blue marbles = Red marbles / Blue marbles
Ratio of red to blue marbles = 40 / 80
Simplifying the ratio gives:
Ratio of red to blue marbles = 1/2
Therefore, the ratio of red to blue marbles is 1:2.
