A bag of skittles contains only red, yellow, and green colors. The respective ratios are 1:3:5 for those three colors. If there are a total of 36 skittles in the bag, how many of each skittles red, yellow, and green are in the bag?

Red skittles = 4 skittles

Yellow skittles = 12 skittles

Green skittles = 20 skittles

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of skittles contains only red, yellow, and green colors.

The respective ratios are 1:3:5 for those three colors.

We have

red: yellow: green

1:3:5

The sum of the proportion = 1 + 3+ 5 = 9

If there are a total of 36 skittles in the bag, how many of each skittles red, yellow, and green are in the bag?

Hence,

Number of red skittles is calculated as:

1/9 × 36 skittles

= 4 skittles

Number of yellow skittles is calculated as:

3/9 × 36 skittles

= 12 skittles

Number of green skittles is calculated as:

5/9 × 36 skittles

= 20 skittles

Therefore, the number of

Red skittles = 4 skittles

Yellow skittles = 12 skittles

Green skittles = 20 skittles
