Question

the ratio of red ribbons to green ribbons is 4 to 6 if there a total of 32 red ribbons then how many green ribbons are there?

Answer 1

There are 48 green ribbons

Solution:

Given that the ratio of red ribbons to green ribbons is 4 to 6

Which can be written in following way:-

$\frac{\text {Red} r i b b o n}{\text {Green ribbon}}=\frac{4}{6}$

There are total number of 32 red ribbons

We have to determine the number of green ribbon

Let the number of green ribbon be ‘6a’

And number of red ribbons be "4a"

Given number of red ribbons = 32

4a = 32

a = 8

number of green ribbon = 6a = 6(8) = 48

Therefore number of green ribbons is 48
