A box contained some red, blue, and green markers. For every 5 red markers, there were 2 blue markers. For every 3 blue markers, there were 5 green markers.

Question

a.​​Find the ratio of red markers to blue markers to green markers.
b.​When 6 red markers were removed from the box, 37 o​f the remaining markers were red markers. How many markers were left in the box?

Answer 1

r:b = 5:2
b:g = 3:5
or,

r:b = 15/6
b:g = 6:10
so, r:b:g = 15:6:10

so, see what you can do with part (b)

Answer 2

I thought the question said 3/7 not 37 for b
