Question

A box contains the same number of blue and red marbles. If we put 3 red marbles and 1 blue marble, the ratio in the box would be greater than 0.503 . What is the greatest number of red marbles in the box?

Answer 1

Answer:

HEYA...

GIVEN :7x=42 -NO. GREEN MARBLES

x=42/7

x=6

THEREFORE GREEN MARBLES =7*6=42

LET NO OF RED MARBLES BE 5x

=5*6=30

LET NO OF BLUE MARBLES BE 3x

=3*6=18

TOTAL NO. OF MARBLES=42+30+18

=90
