Let x be the number of blue marbles.
\n" ); document.write( "Then (3/5)x is the number of green marbles.
\n" ); document.write( "The total number of marbles is \"T=x%2B%283%2F5%29x=%288%2F5%29x\"
\n" ); document.write( "The proportion of green to total is \"%28%283%2F5%29x%29%2F%28%288%2F5%29x%29=3%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
