Can someone check my answers?

the answer is B

To find the ratio of the total number of marbles to the number of red marbles, we need to add up the total number of marbles and divide it by the number of red marbles.

The total number of marbles in the jar is given by: 14 (blue marbles) + 8 (red marbles) + 12 (green marbles) = 34.

Therefore, the ratio of the total number of marbles to the number of red marbles is 34:8.

So, the answer is 2: 34:8.

Your answer is correct. Well done!

To find the ratio of the total number of marbles to the number of red marbles, we need to add up the total number of marbles and then divide it by the number of red marbles.

In this case, we have 14 blue marbles + 8 red marbles + 12 green marbles = 34 marbles in total.

Next, we divide the total number of marbles (34) by the number of red marbles (8).

The ratio of the total number of marbles to the number of red marbles is 34:8.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2: 34:8.

Isn't the total number of marbles 34 ?

btw, in their answers , they should reduced the ratios to lowest terms
e.g.
8 : 24 = 1 : 3
