first find out exactly how much of each you have with simply ratio cross multiplication
(x/48)=((5/12)
240= 12x divide by 12
gives you x = 20 (x is blue marbles)
(1/2)= (y/48)
2y= 48
y= 24 so he has 4 more yellows
(x/48)=((5/12)
240= 12x divide by 12
gives you x = 20 (x is blue marbles)
(1/2)= (y/48)
2y= 48
y= 24 so he has 4 more yellows
