A jar contains marbles in the ratio of 11 red to 5 black.
\n" ); document.write( "If there 230 black marbles, how many red marbles are there?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "11:5 is the same as 11x:5x where 5x is the number of black marbles.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve:: 5x = 230
\n" ); document.write( "x = 46
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Then # of red = 11x = 11*46 = 506
\n" ); document.write( "=====================================
