A bag of skittles contains only red, yellow, and green colors. The respective ratios are 1:3:5 for those three colors. If there are a total of 36 skittles in the bag, how many of each skittles red, yellow, and green are in the bag?

Red skittles = 4 skittles

Yellow skittles = 12 skittles

Green skittles = 20 skittles

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of skittles contains only red, yellow, and green colors.

The respective ratios are 1:3:5 for those three colors.

We have

red: yellow: green

1:3:5

The sum of the proportion = 1 + 3+ 5 = 9

If there are a total of 36 skittles in the bag, how many of each skittles red, yellow, and green are in the bag?

Hence,

Number of red skittles is calculated as:

1/9 × 36 skittles

= 4 skittles

Number of yellow skittles is calculated as:

3/9 × 36 skittles

= 12 skittles

Number of green skittles is calculated as:

5/9 × 36 skittles

= 20 skittles

Therefore, the number of

Red skittles = 4 skittles

Yellow skittles = 12 skittles

Green skittles = 20 skittles

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.

answer: i think its b
