Answer:

50 marbles

Step-by-step explanation: The difference between the ratio of the red and green marbles is 4 units and the number value is 20 so its safe to say that 4 units is equal to 20 and thus one unit is 5 and because of the fact that there is a total of 10 units of marbles in the box according to the ratio, just multiply 5 and 10 which you get 50.

4 units = 20

1 unit = 20÷4 = 5

Total = 10 units

10 unit = 5 ×10 = 50

Ans : 50 marbles
