Question

. A box contains pink, red, and green sweets.

The ratio of pink to red sweets is 2 : 3.
The ratio of red to green sweets is 5: 14.
Find the ratio of pink to green sweets in the simplest

Answer 1

`3(1)/(3)\\` pink sweets for 14 green sweets

Explanation:

Think of it this way for every 2 pink there are 3 red and for every 5 red there are 14 green. Because, for every 2 pink there are 3 red you would multiply them both by
`1 (2)/(3)`. So you would get
`3(1)/(3)` pink for every 5 red. So now you get
`3(1)/(3)\\` pink for 14 green.
