Question

3/5 of the balls in a box are red the rest are green and yellow the ratio of the number of green balls to the number of yellow balls is 5/3 if there are 10 less yellow balls than green balls how many red balls are there​

Answer 1

Answer:

60 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 of the balls are red means 2/5 are green & yellow

green: yellow = 5:3

let numbers of green ball be 5x and yellow ball be 3x

according to question ,

5x-3x = 10

=>2x = 10

=> x = 5

therefore, total number of green ball is 25 and yellow ball is 15.

so, 2/5 unit ----> 40

so, 3/5 unit -----> 60

so, there is total 100 balls red =60 green = 25 & yellow =15
