For this problem, you need to set up a proportion. For every three green there are five yellow, so your first fraction is 3/5. For the second fraction, plug 95 into the denominator. You should have an equation of 3/5 = x/95, x being the number of green. After cross multiplying (95(3)/5), you should get an answer of 57 green. Hopes this helps!
