a bag contains only red and blue marbles. yasmine takes one marble at random from the bag. the probability that she takes a red marble is 1 in 5. yasmine returns the marble to the bag and adds five more red marbles to the bag. the probability that she takes one red marble at random is now 1 in 3. how many red marbles were originally in the bag?
10 red
3 red
5 red
2 red

4x and 6y

im not sure though

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
