The ratio of red markers to blue, green, and yellow markers is 4: 5: 6: 5.

How the ratio is determined:

A ratio refers to the relative size of one quantity or value compared to another.

We can determine the ratio by expressing one value as a fraction of another value or quantity.

Ratios can also be depicted as deciamls, percentages, or in standard ratio form (:).

The total number of color markers = 200 (40 + 50 + 60 + 50)

The number of red markers = 40

The ratio of red markers to blue, green, and yellow markers = 40: 50: 60: 50

= 4: 5: 6: 5

The sum of ratios = 20 (4 + 5 + 6 + 5)

Question Completion:

Since the diagram is not showed, we assume the following quantities of color markers:

Red = 40

Blue = 50

Green = 60

Yellow = 50
