Answer 1

Coca cola bottles = 6

Milk bottles = 14

Jellybeans = 10

Explanation:

We are given that a bag of sweets contains coca cola bottles, milk bottles and jellybeans.

The ratio of these sweet bottles is given as,

3:7:5

It is known that there are 6 coca cola bottles.

We are asked to find the quantity of milk bottles and jellybeans.

Coca cola bottles:

Since the ration is 3:7:5

3 parts of coca cola bottle = 6

1 part of coca cola bottle = 6/3 = 2

Milk bottles:

So 7 parts of milk bottle = 7*2 = 14

Jellybeans:

So 5 parts of milk bottle = 5*2 = 10

Therefore,

Coca cola bottles = 6

Milk bottles = 14

Jellybeans = 10

Verification:

6:14:10

Simply the ratio by dividing it with 2

3:7:5

Which reduces to the given ratio hence results are correct.
