Using the total weight the number of red, green and yellow colour are 2, 4 and 3 respectively.

<h3>How to find each colour using total weight?</h3>

The total number of reds, yellows, and greens on a scale is 9.

The reds weighed 3 pounds each, the yellows weighed 6 pounds each, and the greens weighed 5 pounds each. The total weight is 44

pounds. There are 2 more greens than reds.

Therefore,

let

x = number of reds

number of greens = x + 2

y = number of yellow

Therefore,

x + x + 2 + y = 9

2x + y = 7

3x + 6y + 5(x + 2) = 44

3x + 6y + 5x + 10 = 44

8x + 6y = 34

Hence,

2x + y = 7

8x + 6y = 34

8x + 4y = 28

8x + 6y = 34

2y = 6

y = 6 / 2

y = 3

2x + 3 = 7

2x = 7 - 3

2x  = 4

x = 4 / 2

x = 2

Therefore,

the number red colour = 2

the number of green colour = 2 + 2 = 4

the number of yellow colour = 3

<span>Understand that: • the sum of two positive numbers is greater than either number. Understand that addition is the inverse of subtraction (addition reverses subtraction and vice versa) and use this to check results. Respond rapidly to oral or written questions, explaining the strategy used. For example: • 654 add 50… Add 68 to 74… • 7 add 12 add 9… Add 15, 6, 4, 15 and 1… • What is the sum/total of 26 and 39? And of 13, 62 and 3? • How many altogether are 121 and 35? And 61, 37 and 6? • Increase 48 by 22. • Which three numbers could have a total of 103? Are there any others?</span>
