We are given the number of Blue and Purple Marbles for each of the four friends. So first we have to find the ratio of blue marbles to purple marbles for each of them.

A) Rosa

Number of blue marbles = 10

Number of purple marbles = 12

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{10}{12}=0.833$

B) Chi

Number of blue marbles = 5

Number of purple marbles = 6

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{5}{6}=0.833$

C) Alberto

Number of blue marbles = 5

Number of purple marbles = 12

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{5}{12}=0.417$

D) Pedro

Number of blue marbles = 10

Number of purple marbles = 6

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{10}{6}=1.667$

From the above calculations we can see that Pedro has the highest value of ratio for blue marbles to purple marbles. Also we can see Pedro is the only one for whom the number of blue marbles is more than the number of purple marbles. So this confirms that our calculation is correct.

Thus, the player which gets to go first is Pedro.

In ΔABC, and m∠ABC = 90°. D and E are the midpoints of and , respectively. If the length of is 9 units, the length of is units a

This is an isosceles right triangle (AB = BC & ∠ B=90° - Given)
Then the angles at the base are equal and ∠ CAB = ∠ ACB = 45°

Theorem: Segment DE, joining the midpoints of 2 sides is:
1st) parallel to the 3rd side and
2nd) equal to half the measurement of the 3rd side
So if the 3rd side (hypotenuse) = 9 units, DE = 9/2 = 4.5 units
