Answer:
We conclude that 1/16 of the marbles in the collection are blue with sparkles.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that in a marble collection, 1/8 of the marbles are blue. Of the blue marbles, 1/2 have sparkles.
So, we need to calculate how much of 1/2 of the 1/8 marble is blue.
Therefore, we get
[tex]x=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{8}\\\\x=\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
We conclude that 1/16 of the marbles in the collection are blue with sparkles.
