Question

Paige and Natalie have the same ratio of green marbles in their bags of marbles. Paige has 4 green marbles and 16 total marbles. If Natalie has 10 green marbles, then how many total marbles does Natalie have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Natalie has a total of 40 marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 of Paiges' marbles are green, then we would write this as the ratio

4:16, or 1:4

This means that for every green marble she has, she has 4 total marbles

Therefore, if Natalie has 10 green marbles, we would multiply this by 4 to get a total of 40 marbles.
