Answer:
Red skittles = 4 skittles
Yellow skittles = 12 skittles
Green skittles = 20 skittles
Explanation:
A bag of skittles contains only red, yellow, and green colors.
The respective ratios are 1:3:5 for those three colors.
We have
red: yellow: green
1:3:5
The sum of the proportion = 1 + 3+ 5 = 9
If there are a total of 36 skittles in the bag, how many of each skittles red, yellow, and green are in the bag?
Hence,
Number of red skittles is calculated as:
1/9 × 36 skittles
= 4 skittles
Number of yellow skittles is calculated as:
3/9 × 36 skittles
= 12 skittles
Number of green skittles is calculated as:
5/9 × 36 skittles
= 20 skittles
Therefore, the number of
Red skittles = 4 skittles
Yellow skittles = 12 skittles
Green skittles = 20 skittles
