Choose 1 answer:
A

for every

B

for every

C

for every

D

for every

Answer 1

I don’t see the numbers for how many tubes of each color were used — they were left out of your question. Could you type (or paste a photo of) the counts for red, yellow, white, and blue?

How to solve once you have them:
1. Add the counts to get the total: T = red + yellow + white + blue.
2. The ratio of blue to all is blue : T.
3. Simplify that ratio by dividing both parts by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
4. The “for every” wording is the same idea: “blue for every T” or after simplifying “b' for every t'”.

Example: if red = 3, yellow = 4, white = 2, blue = 5:
- Total T = 3+4+2+5 = 14
- Ratio blue:all = 5:14
- That is already simplified, so “5 for every 14.”

Send the actual counts and I’ll compute the correct choice.
