To find the ratio of blue marbles to the total number of marbles, you need to divide the number of blue marbles by the sum of all three colors of marbles.

First, add up the total number of marbles:
24 (blue) + 16 (green) + 6 (red) = 46

Next, divide the number of blue marbles by the total number of marbles:
24 (blue marbles) / 46 (total marbles) = 12/23

So, the ratio of blue marbles to the total marbles is 12:23.
