57 green M&Ms

I used cross multiplication to make it easier for me. There are lots of other ways to find an answer like this. But I hope that helps.

Answer 2

is 57 green M&M.

Explanation:

The ratio of yellow M&M to green M&M is 5:3.

If there are 95 yellow M&M, we can calculate the number of green M&M using the ratio:

Number of green M&M = (Number of yellow M&M / Ratio of yellow to green)

Number of green M&M = (95 / 5) * 3

Number of green M&M = 19 * 3

Number of green M&M = 57

Therefore, there are 57 green M&M.
