a bag contains 128 marbles some white and some transparent the ratio of white marbles to transparent ones is 3:5 how many transparent marbles are there
Answer:
80 transparent marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the total from the given ratio: 3+5 =8
Step 2: multiply the given total amount of marbles to the ratio of transparent marbles over the total from the given ratio
= 80 transparent marbles
therefore, the remaining are white marbles: 128 -80 = 48
to check: get the lowest term of the number of white marbles over transparent marbles and check if it is the same with the given ratio
48/80= 3/5 ↔3:5
