Answer 1

45 green bands

Step-by-step explanation

The ratio of red hair bands to green hair bands is

5 : 9

The total ratio is:

`9 + 5 = 14`

If there are a total of 70 hair bands,

Then the number of green bands

`= (9)/(14) * 70`

Simplify

`= 9 * 5`

Multiply

`= 45`

Therefore, there are 45 green bands.
