Question

FIRST GETS BRAINLLEST A bag contains 150 marbles which are red, green, and blue. Suppose a student randomly selects a marble without looking, records the color, and then places the marble back in the bag. The student has recorded 9 red marbles, 15 green marbles and 6 blue marbles. Predict how many red marbles are in the bag.

Answer 1

Answer:

45 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so the ratio is 9:15:6. We add that up and we get 30. We do 150/30 and get 5. Each number in the ratio is equal to 5. We do 9*5=45.

Answer 2

Answer:

45 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the 30 marbles picked, 9 were red so that's 3/10 of the smaller sample. If you take 3/10 of 150 to get the value of the larger sample, you will get 45 marbles.
