Question

There are 32 green and purple markers in a box. The ratio of green markers to purple markers is 3:5. How many of the markers are purple

Answer 1

3:5

Where 3 is the green markers, and 5 is the purple.

We need to find a ratio where the numbers are consistent and add up to 32.

3:5
6:10
9:15
12:20

12:20 is the right proportion. It adds up to 32.

There are 20 purple markers.

I hope this helps!
