There is a bag with only red marbles and blue marbles. The probability of randomly choosing a red marble is 7 9 . There are 28 red marbles in the bag and each is equally likely to be chosen. Work out how many marbles in total there must be.

Correct question :

There is a bag with only red marbles and blue marbles. The probability of randomly choosing a red marble is 7 9 . There are 28 red marbles in the bag and each is equally likely to be chosen. Work out how many marbles in total there must be.

Total number of marbles = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Marbles in bag: Red and Blue only

Probability of randomly choosing a red marble = 7/9

Number of red marbles = 28

Total number of marbles in the bag =?

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(red marble) = required outcome (number of red marbles) / Total possible outcomes(total number of marbles

7/9 = 28 / total number of marbles

Total number of marbles * 7/9 = 28

Total number of marbles = 28 ÷ 7/9

Total number of marbles = 28 * (9/7)

= 252 / 7

Total number of marbles = 36

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5
