Avery has 2 blue marbles. One sixth of Avery's marble are blue. How many marbles does Avery have?

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation

2 = (1/6) x represents this situation.

2 is 1/6 of some value. In this case, the value is the total number of marbles. 2 represents 1/6 of the total number of marbles is how to read that equation in context. Solve that equation for x

2 = (1/6) x

12 = x (multiply both sides by 6 to get rid of the fraction)
