Answer:

The number of blue marbles be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A drawer has some red ,green and blue marbles.

There are 33 marbles .

there are 4 times as many red marbles as green marbles.

Let us assume that the number of green marbles be g .

Than Red marbles = 4g

There are half as many blue marbles as green marbles.

Than

[tex]Number\ of\ blue\ marbles =\frac {Number\ of\ green\ marbles}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Number\ of\ blue\ marbles =\frac{g}{2}[/tex]

Than the equation becomes

[tex]g + 4g + \frac{g}{2} = 33[/tex]

Than simplify the above

[tex]2g + 8g + g = 33\times 2[/tex]

[tex]11g = 66[/tex]

[tex]g= \frac{66}{11}[/tex]

g = 6

[tex]Number\ of\ blue\ marbles =\frac{6}{2}[/tex]

Number of blue marbles = 3

Therefore the number of blue marbles be 3 .
