A quarter of Nibha's marbles are blue.If she has 12 marbles,how many marbles does she have altogether?
The problem states that she has 12 marbles.
If a quarter of Nibha's marbles are blue and she has 12 marbles, we can find the total number of marbles she has by dividing 12 by 1/4.
To divide by 1/4, we can multiply 12 by the reciprocal of 1/4, which is 4/1.
12 x (4/1) = 48
Therefore, Nibha has 48 marbles altogether.
To find out how many marbles Nibha has altogether, we need to determine the total number of marbles represented by a quarter.
We know that a quarter of Nibha's marbles are blue, which means 1/4 of her marbles can be represented by the number of blue marbles. If she has 12 marbles in total, we can set up the equation:
1/4 * Nibha's total marbles = 12
To solve for Nibha's total marbles, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
1/4 * Nibha's total marbles * 4 = 12 * 4
Nibha's total marbles = 48
Therefore, Nibha has 48 marbles altogether.
