It is given that two-fifths are green, so the remaining three-fifths are purple. It is also given that there are 134 green marbles.
2/5 of the total number of marbles in the bag = 134
What is the total number of marbles?
Solution:
134 divided by (2/5) or 0.4 is equal to 335. Check it using your calculator.
5/5 or 1 whole is 335, but, 2/5 is 134. So, 3/5 of 335 is.......
335 divided by 5 = 67 times by 3= 201.
So, there are 201 purple marbles in the bag.
