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?

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

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
