Answers
A 3/23
B 3/8
C 1/4
To find the ratio of green marbles to total marbles, we need to find the total number of marbles.
Total marbles = blue marbles + red marbles + green marbles
Total marbles = 12 + 8 + 3
Total marbles = 23
Now we can find the ratio of green marbles to total marbles by dividing the number of green marbles by the total marbles.
Green marbles/Total marbles = 3/23
The simplified ratio is 3/23.
Therefore, the answer is A) 3/23.
