Non-red to red is 54:1
red is 6750
therefore, non-red has to be 54 times that or 364,500
The total number is their sum or 371,250
if you divide that by (54+1) or 55, the result is 6750

The question is not very clear here. Do you want to find out the number of non-red marbles?
If so, our formula is (# of non-red) = 6750 * (54/1) = 364,500 non-red marble.
Since 54:1 = x : 6750
