Answer 1

86.5 green buttons

Step-by-step explanation:

In a jar, there are pink, blue, green buttons.

They are divided in ratio forms:

• pink : blue = 2 : 7

• blue : green = 3 : 4

Make the ratio unit for the blue same, so that we can relate both together.

• pink : blue = (2 : 7) * 3 ⇒ (6, 21)

• blue : green = (3 : 4) * 7 ⇒ (21, 28)

All together :

• pink : blue : green = 6 : 21 : 28

Let each button be "x"

• 6x + 21x + 28x = 170

simplify

• 55x < 170

divide both sides by 55

• x < 3.091

So greatest green button:

• 28 * 3.091

• 86.54545

• 86.5 green buttons (rounded to nearest tenth)
