------------------------------------------------ In a bag of counters, there are 3 times as many red counters as blue counters. There are twice as many blue counters as yellow counters. What is the ratio of red to blue to yellow counters?

Answer :

Answer:

The ratio is 6:2:1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote:

Blue counter b

Red counter r

Yellow counter y.

There is given

r=3b (three times more red as blue) [1]

and

b=2y (twice more blue as yellow.) [2]

Now, replacing [2] to [1] gives

3*2y=r

6y=r.

Hence, the ratio is 6:2:1, because r=6y and b=2y.
