Let's solve each question step by step using the given information.
---
Given Information:
- Daniel: 18 marbles
- John: 24 marbles
- Ben: 15 marbles
- Nicolas: 22 marbles
- James:
3 times more than Ben → So, James = 3 × 15 =
45 marbles
*(Note: “3 times more than” usually means 3 × the original amount. So if Ben has 15, James has 3 × 15 = 45.)*

Question 1: What is the ratio of marbles that Daniel has compared to John?
Daniel : John = 18 : 24
We simplify this ratio by dividing both numbers by their
Greatest Common Divisor (GCD), which is 6.
→ 18 ÷ 6 = 3
→ 24 ÷ 6 = 4
✔ Answer: 3 : 4

##
Question 2: What is the ratio of marbles that Daniel has compared to Ben?
Daniel : Ben = 18 : 15
GCD of 18 and 15 is 3.
→ 18 ÷ 3 = 6
→ 15 ÷ 3 = 5
✔ Answer: 6 : 5

##
Question 3: What is the ratio of marbles that Daniel has compared to James?
Daniel : James = 18 : 45
GCD of 18 and 45 is 9.
→ 18 ÷ 9 = 2
→ 45 ÷ 9 = 5
✔ Answer: 2 : 5

##
Question 4: What is the ratio of marbles that Daniel has compared to John and Ben put together?
First, find total marbles for John and Ben:
John + Ben = 24 + 15 =
39
Now, Daniel : (John + Ben) = 18 : 39
GCD of 18 and 39 is 3.
→ 18 ÷ 3 = 6
→ 39 ÷ 3 = 13
✔ Answer: 6 : 13
