i got 80.

50 total marbles

chance of getting a red marble is 8/50

8/50 = 80/500

Answer is 80

You need to work out what fraction of the 50 are red 8\50 are red
Find out how many times 50 goes in 500                                                                  500 divided by 50 = 10                                                                                                 Multiply by 8 to get the total number of red
8x10 = 80 red marbles
