Question

Answers
A 3/23
B 3/8
C 1/4

Answer 1

To find the ratio of green marbles to total marbles, we need to find the total number of marbles.

Total marbles = blue marbles + red marbles + green marbles
Total marbles = 12 + 8 + 3
Total marbles = 23

Now we can find the ratio of green marbles to total marbles by dividing the number of green marbles by the total marbles.

Green marbles/Total marbles = 3/23

The simplified ratio is 3/23.

Therefore, the answer is A) 3/23.
