There are 10 marbles in a bag 1/5 are and the other are blue .What is the ratio of red to blue marbles

1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 marbles in a bag 1/5 are red and the others are blue. What is the ratio of red to blue marbles?

Number of red marbles = fraction of red marbles x total number of marbles

1/5 x 10 = 2

Number of blue marbles = total number of marbles - number of red marbles

10 - 2 = 8

ratio of red to blue marbles

2 : 8

To transform to the simplest form. divide both numbers by 2

1 : 4

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
