Therefore:

The answer is option A). 3:1

Answer 2

Answer: B. 4 to 1

Explanation:

green = (3/4) purple

Substituting the expression for green from the first conversion, we get:

yellow = (5/6) (3/4) purple

yellow = (5/8) purple

Finally, we can use the third ratio to convert purple to red:

5 purple = 2 red

purple = (2/5) red

Therefore, the ratio between yellow to red is 4 to 1.
