in abag containing red ,pink, green tokens the ratio of red and green token was 12:35 while the ratio of pnk and red token was 25:18. what was the ratio of green and pink tokens

Answer 1

Red : Green = 12 : 35

Pink : Red = 25 : 18

.

Since both ratio contain the red ratio, we will make the reds' the same:

Red : Green = 12 x 3 : 35 x 3

Red : Green = 36: 105

.

Pink : Red = 25 x 2 : 18 x 2

Pink : Red = 50 : 36

.

Now that the reds are the same, we can combine the ratio:

Red : Green : Pink = 36 : 105 : 50

.

Find the Green to Pink ratio:

Green : Pink = 105 : 50

.

Simplify:

Green : Pink = 105 ÷ 5 : 50 ÷ 5

Green : Pink = 21 : 10

.

Answer: The ratio of green to pink is 21 : 10
