Answer:

5

Explanation:

First, get the number of green bracelets

Since they are 1/6, then this is equivalent to 1/6*12= 2 bracelets

Number of blue and green will be the sum of blue which is given as 5 and green already found to be 2

Blue and green=2+5=7

To get the number of red, we deduct the total blue and green feom the overal total

No. of red will be 12-7=5

Therefore, 5 bracelets are red
