⅗ of my marbles are white. I have 33 white marbles. How many marbles do I have altogether?

You would have 66 total marbles.
⅗ = 1/2
so,
33+33=66
total=66
⅗ = 1/2
so,
33+33=66
total=66

This is the second of your replies that I had to correct.
Unless you know what you are doing, please refrain from posting answers.
Your statement of ⅗ = 1/2 is just gibberish.
Let the total number of marbles be x
(3/5)x = 33
x = 33(5/3) = 55
He had 55 marbles
check: what is 3/5 of 55 ?
