the ratio of white marbles to blue marbles in Connie's bag of marbles is equal to 2:3 there are more than 20 marles in the bag. What is a possible number of

Good effort Rampager but there are MORE than 20 marbles in the bag.

 

2+3=5

so the mables have to be divisable by 5

So there are 5n marbles in the bag where n is and integer greater than 4

number of whit ones = 2/5  *  5n  = 2n            

number of blue ones = 3/5  *  5n  = 3n         

You can set it up as a function. 

White marbles on this side | Blue Marbels on this side

Now keep Adding on both sides until the total number amount of marbels is equal to 20.

+2|+3

+2|+3

+2|+3

+2|+3

8 + 12 = 20

So there are 8 white marbles and 12 blue marbles.
