Answer

If a 50-gram marble were rolled into the cup, the distance would increase. There is a pattern between the weights of the cup and the movement. Each time the mass of the cup is increased by ten grams, the cup moves two inches. If using the logic created by this pattern, a 50-gram marble would move the cup a total of nine inches. A 40-gram marble would move the cup seven inches (5+2=7), so another ten grams would mean another two inches added (7+2=9) totaling nine grams.
