Answer :

Answer:

It is 20 white marbles

step by step explanation:

Fraction of the yellow marbles:

[tex]1 - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3}{8} [/tex]

let total number of marbles be x :

[tex]{ \sf{ \frac{3}{8} \: of \: x = 30 \: yellow \: marbles}} \\ \\ \frac{3}{8} \times x = 30 \\ \\ 3x = 30 \times 8 \\ 3x = 240 \\ x = 80[/tex]

Total marbles = 80 marbles

for white marbles:

[tex] = \frac{1}{4} \times 80 \\ \\ = 20[/tex]
