Question

7. If the concert handed out 208 wands and some wands were red wands and some were green wands. The ratio of red wands to green wands is 1:3. How many fans were given green wands?

Answer 1

There were 156 green wands.

Explanation:

Given that,

The ratio of red wands to green wands is 1:3.

Let red wands be x and that of green wands be 3x.

ATQ,

Total wands = 208

x+3x = 208

4x = 208

x = 52

Green wands = 3x

= 3(52)

= 156

Hence, there were 156 green wands.
