Question

In a bag of coloured jellybeans, the ratio of yellow to orange to red is 6 : 5 : 4. If there are 60 jellybeans in the bag, how many of each colour are there?

Answer 1

Yellow: 24
Orange: 20
Red: 16

Explanation:

6 + 5 + 4 = 15

60 / 15 = 4

Y : 6 x 4 = 24
O: 5 x 4 = 20
R: 4 x 4 = 16

Answer 2

Based on the ratio of the jellybeans and the number of jellybeans, the number of each is:

• Yellow = 24 jellybeans
• Orange = 20 jellybeans
• Red = 16 jellybeans

To find the number of yellow jellybeans:

= Ratio of Yellow/ Sum of ratios x Number of jellybeans in total

= 6 / (6 + 5 + 4) x 60

= 24 yellow jellybeans

Orange jellybeans:

= 5 / 15 x 60

= 20 orange jellybeans

Red jellybeans:

= 4 / 15 x 60

= 16 red jellybeans

In conclusion, there are several colors of jellybeans.
