Answer:

There are 5 red Marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so since the probability of drawing a red marble is

P(Red) = #Outcomes of Red/#Outcomes in Sample space

The sample Space is 40 marbles.

The probability of drawing red was said to be [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

P(Red) = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

[tex]P(Red) = \frac{r}{40}\\ \frac{1}{8} = \frac{r}{40}\\ \frac{40}{8} = r\\ 5 = r[/tex]
