There are 16 red counters there.
If one-quarter of the counters in a tub are red and the rest are green, then there are three-quarter of the counter in the tub.
Let the total counter be x such that
3/4x = 48
3x = 4 * 48
x = 4 * 16
x = 64
Determine the amount of red counter
Red counter = 64 - 48
Red counter = 16
Hence there are 16 red counters there.
