12:10

The ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in the jar is 3:5.

How can we find the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles?

The number of red marbles and the total number of marbles in the jar are given. It is also given that the jar contains only red and blue marbles. The ratio can be found by dividing the total number of red and blue marbles and simplifying the fraction thereof.

We can find the ratio as shown below:

Total number of marbles in the jar = 32

Total number of red marbles in the jar = 12

It is given that the jar contains only red and blue marbles.

Therefore, the total number of blue marbles = Total number of marbles in the jar - Total number of red marbles in the jar

= 32 - 12

= 20

The ratio of number of red marbles to number of blue marbles = Total number of red marbles in the jar/Total number of blue marbles in the jar

= 12/20

= 6/10

= 3/5

= 3:5

Therefore, we have found that the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in the jar is 3:5.
