45/75 marbles are black.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{45}{75}[/tex] black marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A jar contains 75 marbles.

[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of the marbles are black.

We will multiply [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] by 75 to get the number of black marbles.

The number of black marbles = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] × 75

                                                 = [tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] × 15

                                                = 45 marbles

45 marbles are black out of 75 marbles. so we can write [tex]\frac{45}{75}[/tex] black marbles.
