A bag contains A markers, 3/8 of which are red. How many other color markers are in the bag?
Accepted Solution
A:
8 is the total number of markers in the bag. There are 3 out of 8 that are red. 8-3=5 so there are 5 out of 8 markers that are not red and that are other colors - or 5/8 are other colors.
