Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Red:Blue = 2 : 3[/tex]

Required

Determine the possible number of blue and red marbles

This question requires options. Since none were given, I'll answer on a general term.

To get the possible amount of each marble, we simply multiply the ratio by the same factor.

Take for instance.

Multiply ratio by 15

[tex]Red:Blue = 2 : 3[/tex]

[tex]Red:Blue = 2 *15: 3*15[/tex]

[tex]Red:Blue = 30: 45[/tex]

This means that:

[tex]Red = 30[/tex] and [tex]Blue = 45[/tex]

Another possible amount is: multiply by 10

[tex]Red:Blue = 2 : 3[/tex]

[tex]Red:Blue = 2 *10: 3*10[/tex]

[tex]Red:Blue = 20: 30[/tex]

This means that:

[tex]Red = 20[/tex] and [tex]Blue = 30[/tex]

So, all you need to do is to multiply by the same factor
