Help needed on Tricky Ratio Question
Marbles are coloured Red, Green, Yellow and Blue in the ratio 9:5:3:1 respectively. Why can't there be 7 yellow marbles?
Re: Help needed on Tricky Ratio Question
The ratio of blue to yellow is 1:3, so 2:6 or 3:9, the number of yellow marbles has to be a multiple of 3.
