Greetings.

Today we have a question about marbles.
00:05
So our question is each marble bag sold by kayla's marble company contains three red marbles for every two purple marbles.
00:12
If a bag has 14 purple marbles, how many red marbles does it contain? so we have to think about the relationship between the red and purple marbles.
00:23
So for every three red marbles, we are going to end up with two purple marbles.
00:29
That's hard for me to say.
00:31
So we can put that into a ratio.
00:33
So we have our three red marbles for every two purple marbles.
00:41
So we can then set up an equivalent ratio for the next amount that they tell us.
00:48
So they're wondering how many red marbles, so we can call that one x, for every 14 purple marbles.
00:57
So what fraction with 14 in the denominator will reduce to 3 over 2? so there are a few ways that we can attack this...
