Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

2, 5, 6

Explanation:

If we number the mixes 1-6 from top to bottom, then the fraction of the total that is yellow is ...

1. 1/(3+1+2) = 1/6

2. 2/(5+2+3) = 2/10 = 1/5

3. 2/(6+2+4) = 2/12 = 1/6

4. 4/(12+4+8) = 4/24 = 1/6

5. 6/(15+6+9) = 6/30 = 1/5

6. 8/(20+8+12) = 8/40 = 1/5

Mixes 2, 5, and 6 are the most yellow. (1/5 > 1/6)
