There are 260 candies in a bowl. Four-thirteenths is colored yellow. The rest are colored green and red in the ratio 5:7. How many candies are colored green?

Sagot :

Answer:

75 candies are colored green

Step-by-step explanation:

Yellow is 4/13 of 260 candies which is 80.

From 260 candies, subtract 80 yellow candies and we have 180 remaining candies.

The ratio of green to red candies is 5:7.

5x + 7x = 180

12x = 180

x = 15

5x = 5(15) = 75 green candies

7x = 7(15) = 105 red candies
