Question 1076926: Hello, im wondering if you can help me figure out the formula to find:
If 6750 red marbles went into a car, the ratio of non-red to red marbles is 54:1.
I've tried p (success)÷p (failure), but now I don't know what the next step is. Could you please help me with this problem, I would be extremely grateful.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
