Answer :

The answer is: 8 red marbles!

This is because the equation can be written out like this
Blue to red - 3:2
Now it is, blue to red - 12:x

We have to think, what is the difference from the first equation to the second. We know the number 3 times 4 = 12, so we would do the same for the red, 2 times 4=8

If this helped, give me brainliest :)

Answer:

8 red marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 3:2, blue to red. If there's 12 blue marbles and the first part of the ratio's 3, then:

12/3=4

Then you take the 4 and multiply it by 2, the second half of the ration to get 8.

And so, the answer's 8. If you divide 12:8 by 4 each you get your original ratio of 3:2, so that's your way to check.
