Answer:

New ratio ( white,blue and red) = 6:1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Old ratio ( white,blue and red) = 8:3:2

Number of red balls = 10

Removed balls = 10 white , 10 blue

Find:

New ratio ( white,blue and red)

Computation:

Assume total number of balls = x

So,

Number of total balls = 2x / 13 = 10

Number of total balls = 65

Number of white balls = 40

Number of blue balls = 15

So,

Number of new white balls = 40 - 10 = 30

Number of new blue balls = 15 - 10 = 5

New ratio ( white,blue and red) = 30 : 5 : 10

New ratio ( white,blue and red) = 6:1:2

The new ratio of the white, blue, and red balls is 6:1:2.

Given to us

  • A bag contains white,blue, and red balls ratio8:3:2 and there are 10 red balls,
  • if 10 white balls and 10 blue balls are removed from the bag

Part 1

The balls in the bag are in the ratio 8:3:2, therefore, the balls in the bags are,

white balls = 8x

blue balls = 3x

red balls = 2x =10,

Solving for red balls,

[tex]2x = 10\\x =\dfrac{10}{2}\\x = 5[/tex]

Now, substituting the value of x to know the numbers of balls are,

white balls = 8x

                  [tex]= 8 \times 5\\=40[/tex]

blue balls = 3x

                [tex]= 3\times 5\\=15[/tex]

Part 2

After removing, 10 white balls and 10 blue balls from the bag,

red balls = 10 balls

white balls = 40 balls - 10 balls = 30 balls

blue balls = 15 balls - 10 balls = 5 balls

Dividing all the number of balls by 5,

red balls = 10 balls

[tex]\dfrac{10\ balls}{5} = 2[/tex]

white balls = 30 balls

[tex]\dfrac{30\ balls}{5} = 6[/tex]

blue balls = 5 balls

[tex]\dfrac{5\ balls}{5} = 1[/tex]

Hence, the new ratio of the white, blue, and red balls is 6:1:2.
