In a bag of solid colored marbles, 1/3 of the marbles are red, 1/4 are green, 1/6 are blue, and the rest are yellow. There are 8 marbles in the bag. How many in the bag are yellow?

Step-by-step explanation:

so there are 8 marbles in the bag ... 1/3 red, 1/4 green, 1/6 blue ... rest are yellow

red ones ... 1/3 (8) = 8/3 = 2 2/3 are red

green ones ... 1/4 (8) = 8/4 = 2 are green

blue ones ... 1/6 (8) = 8/6 = 1 1/3 are blue

2 2/3 + 2 + 1 1/3 = 6 marbles are not yellow ... that leaves you with 2 yellow marbles
