Question

a bag contain red, yellow, and green sweets, in theses ratios = red : yellow = 3:2, yellow : green = 1:5, find the ratio of red : green

Answer 1

Explanation:

The ratio of red : yellow = 3:2 and yellow:green = 1:5

So, the ratio of red : yellow : green = 3:2:5

To find the ratio of red: green, we can find the ratio of red : yellow : green and then divide the red and green portions.

So, the ratio of red: green = (3/(3+2+5)) : (5/(3+2+5)) = 3/10 : 5/10 = 3:5

Answer 2

3:10

Explanation:

In order to find the ratio of red to green sweets, we first need to find the ratio of yellow to green sweets. We know that the ratio of yellow to green is 1:5 and we also know that the ratio of red to yellow is 3:2.

We can use this information to find the ratio of red to green by cross-multiplying the ratio of red to yellow and the ratio of yellow to green.

So (3:2) x (1:5) = (3:10)

This means the ratio of red to green is 3:10.

Alternatively, we can find the ratio of red to green by using the following formula:

(red:yellow) x (yellow:green) = (red:green)

So (3:2) x (1:5) = (3:10)

The ratio of red to green is 3:10.
