Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Red:Blue = 2 : 3[/tex]
Required
Determine the possible number of blue and red marbles
This question requires options. Since none were given, I'll answer on a general term.
To get the possible amount of each marble, we simply multiply the ratio by the same factor.
Take for instance.
Multiply ratio by 15
[tex]Red:Blue = 2 : 3[/tex]
[tex]Red:Blue = 2 *15: 3*15[/tex]
[tex]Red:Blue = 30: 45[/tex]
This means that:
[tex]Red = 30[/tex] and [tex]Blue = 45[/tex]
Another possible amount is: multiply by 10
[tex]Red:Blue = 2 : 3[/tex]
[tex]Red:Blue = 2 *10: 3*10[/tex]
[tex]Red:Blue = 20: 30[/tex]
This means that:
[tex]Red = 20[/tex] and [tex]Blue = 30[/tex]
So, all you need to do is to multiply by the same factor
