Answer:
32 purple marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Turn 3:8 into 3x+8x.
Equation:
3x+8x=44
x=4
Now, refer back to 3x:8x. We know that x=4, so 4*8=32.
32 purple marbles.
Answer:
There are 32 purple marbles and 12 red marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio is 3:8 and the total is 44. For 3 red marbles, they have 8 purple marbles but we don't know how many each marble we need if the total sum is 44. So we do...
3x+8x=44
11x=44
x=4
We need to know the number of purple marbles so we do,
8*4=32
