Final answer:
The true statement about Felipe's bracelet is that the ratio of green beads to total beads is 2 to 10 (option b). This accurately represents the proportion of green beads relative to the entire set of beads on the bracelet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is regarding the ratios of different colored beads in Felipe's bracelet. Given that Felipe makes a bracelet with 10 beads consisting of 3 blue, 2 green, and 5 red beads, we are to determine which statement is true.
a. The ratio of green beads to red beads is 5 to 2. This is incorrect because there are 2 green beads and 5 red beads, making the ratio 2 to 5, not 5 to 2.
b. The ratio of green beads to total beads is 2 to 10. This is correct as there are indeed 2 green beads out of a total of 10 beads.
c. For every 3 blue beads, there are 2 red beads. This is incorrect because there are 5 red beads for the 3 blue beads, not 2 red.
d. For every 5 red beads, there are 5 total beads on the bracelet. This statement does not even make sense because there are 10 total beads on the bracelet, not just 5 red beads.
The correct answer is option b, as it correctly expresses the ratio of green beads to total beads as 2 to 10.
