Question

1/10 of the counters in a bag are blue. 1/2 of the counters are red. 2/5 of the counters are yellow. Which of the ratios below shows the ratio of blue to red to yellow?

Answer 1

Given: 1/10 blue
1/2 red
2/5 yellow


First, make it so that each if their whole (denominator, or the right side) is equal.

We already know that 2 and 5 are common factors of 10, so we get them to the number 10 by equal multiplication.


1/10 - blue
1/2(5) = 5/10 - red
2/5(2) = 4/10 - yellow

Now just take their numbers in order.

Answer: 1:5:4

Answer 2

well 1/10 are blue, 5/10 are red, and 4/10 are yellow.

1/10 blue

5/10 red

4/10 yellow

I don't really know how to answer this question but I hope me converting the ratios helps :)
