Answer: There are 12 bracelets he have on in total.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bracelets are tie-dye is given by


(1)/(3)

Number of bracelets that are blue is given by


(1)/(6)

Total number of bracelets used till now is given by


(1)/(3)+(1)/(6)\\\\=(2+1)/(6)\\\\=(3)/(6)\\\\ =(1)/(2)

Remaining bracelets are given by


1-(1)/(2)\\\\=(1)/(2)

Number of bracelets that are camouflage is given by


(1)/(3)* (1)/(2)=(1)/(6)

Let the total number of bracelets he have on be 'x'.

Number of camouflage bracelets he wears = 2

According to question, we have


(1)/(6)* x=2\\\\x=6* 2=12

Hence, there are 12 bracelets he have on in total.
