Answer:
1/4 of a red marble
5/4 green marbles
14/4 blue marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of equations.
There are 5 marbles, so r + g + b = 5.
There is 2 more of blue marbles than red + green so b - 2 = r + g
There is 1 less red marble than green marbles so g = r + 1.
Then substitute.
b - 2 = r + r + 1
b = 2r + 3
r + r + 1 + 2r + 3 = 5
4r + 4 = 5
4r = 1
r = 1/4
g = 1/4 + 1
g = 5/4
1/4 + 5/4 + b = 5
6/4 + b = 20/4
b = 14/4
Plug them back into the equation and it checks out.
*Note : I don't know how this would work in real life but it's the answer.
