Question

there are only blue counters, red counters and yellow counters in a bag. There are twice as many blue counters as yellow counters. There are three times as many red counters as yellow counters. Write down the ratio of blue counters to red counters to yellow counters.

Answer 1

The ratio of blue counters to red counters to yellow counters will be given as 3: 2: 6.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

There are only blue (B) counters, red (R) counters, and yellow (Y) counters in the bag.

There are twice as many blue counters as yellow counters.

There are three times as many red counters as yellow counters.

Then the relationship will be

Y = 2B ..1

Y = 3R ..2

From equations 1 and 2, we have

2B = Y = 3R

B/3 = Y/6 = R/2

Then the ratio of blue counters to red counters to yellow counters will be

B:R:Y::3:2:6
