Add the # of marbles together first since it wants a ratio to the total numbers in the bag
pooja195 (pooja195):
28+49=?

77?
OpenStudy (boldjon):
Alright. Now it would be 49:77 because ratio means "how much of one thing there is compared to another thing."
Ratio is like a fraction, except without a fraction bar.
So we have the number 49 and 77.
Which number can go in perfectly in 49 and 77?
OpenStudy (boldjon):

3:4
24:32
6:8
OpenStudy (smartyprincess):
and it is unsimplified if you do 32: 24
OpenStudy (smartyprincess):
then you have to simplify it as much as possible by using division
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh...ok awesome
OpenStudy (smartyprincess):
divide it by 8 which is the GCF of 32 and 24
