Question

Raul has 56 bouncy balls. He puts 3 times as many balls in red gift bags than he puts in red gift bags. If he puts the same number of balls in each gift bag how many does he put in each green bag? Trying to solve as the solution should be 14

Answer 1

Note that green bags must hold 1414 of the balls (as we divided them, by color, in the ratio 3:1). Thus there are 1414 balls in the green bags, hence 4242 in the red bags.
