Number of total marble is 36

Assume;

Number of total marble = a

Number of red marble = (1/2)a

Number of white marble = (1/3)a

Number of blue marble = 6

So,

Number of total marble = Number of red marble + Number of white marble + Number of blue marble

(1/2)a + (1/3)a + 6 = a

a/2 + a/3 + 6 = a

(3a + 2a + 36) / 6 = a

5a + 36 = 6a

a = 36

Number of total marble = 36
