Sagot :

The total number of marbles is, 50.

11 yellow marbles

19 green marbles

x be the number of white marbles.

Without counting, x can be calculated as,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 11+19+x=50 \\ x=50-11-19=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the ratio of green marbles to white marbles is,

[tex]\frac{G}{W}=\frac{19}{20}[/tex]

Thus option B is correct.
