Total = 390 cm.
Red = X cm.
White = x+40 cm.
Blue = 3x cm.
Purple = (x+40)/2 = 0.5x+20.
x + (x+40) + 3x + (0.5x+20) = 390.
5.5x + 60 = 390,
X = 60 = Red.
Calculate the length of the other ribbons.
Red = X cm.
White = x+40 cm.
Blue = 3x cm.
Purple = (x+40)/2 = 0.5x+20.
x + (x+40) + 3x + (0.5x+20) = 390.
5.5x + 60 = 390,
X = 60 = Red.
Calculate the length of the other ribbons.
