Answer 2

4:6:3

Explanation:

If 2 red = 3 blue & 2 blue = 1 green,

1. We have to find a common denominator for blue
2. 2×3 = 6, therefore multiply the ratio for red and blue by 2. 2×2 = 4 red and 2×3 = 6 blue.
3. To find green, we want our numerator to be 6, since it represents the blue. We know green is 1/2 of blue so it's 3.

4 red, 6 blue, 3 green
