Answer 1

To find the number of marbles \( m \) in the bag, you can set up the following equation based on the information provided:

\[ m = 6 \times 13 \]

In this equation, \( 6 \) is the number of players and \( 13 \) is the number of marbles each player receives.

Now, let's solve for \( m \):

\[ m = 6 \times 13 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ m = 78 \]

Therefore, there are 78 marbles in the bag.
