Marlin's marble jar had 36 red marbles and 64 blue marbles. What was the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in the jar?



Answer :

To get the ratio between red and blue we have to put number of red marbles into numerator and number of blue into denominator, and then simplify the fraction.
[tex] \frac{36}{64}= \frac{36:4}{64:4}= \frac{9}{16} = [/tex] or 9:16 - its the answer
