Question

what`s the answer? i don`t get the concept of the question

Answer 1

"WAH! WHAT A NICE QUESTION!!!"

 

Blue : Green = 2 : 7

 

Green : Red = 3 : 1

   

''THEN WHAT ABOUT BLUE : GREEN : RED ?!''

   

Take   Blue : Green   =    2 : 7    =    6 : 21     (MULTIPLIED BY '3'!!!)   →  (1)

   

Take   Green : Red    =    3 : 1    =    21 : 7     (MULTIPLIED BY '7'!!!)   →  (2)

 

"SUBSTITUTE (1) AND (2)!!!"

   

And we get,

 

BLUE : GREEN : RED = 6 : 21 : 7

 

'"Okay, time for assumption!!!'"

 

Let's assume Blue = 6x,  Green = 21x, and Red = 7x.

 

The total amount WILL BE 6x + 21x + 7x = 34x.

 

"GIVEN THAT" 34x is less than 140.

 

"SO, IS IT WRONG TO FIND THE GREATEST MULTIPLE OF 34 UNDER 140???!!!"

 

Never. Find it.

 

We get 136.

 

So,

 

34x = 136

 

x = 4

   

"RED SWEETS" is 7x.

   

∴ 7x = 28

 

""DO 28 MUST INCLUDE THE WORDS 'RED SWEETS'???!!!(PLeaSE hELp mE!)""
