Question

There are three red paperclips five yellow paper clips six silver paper clips in a jar what is the ratio of the total number of paperclips to the number of red paperclips a 14 to 3 1111 to 3 see 3 to 11 day 3 to 11

Answer 1

We don't "guess" at answers in mathematics, we solve the problems

given: red : yellow : silver = 3:5:6 or 3x : 5x : 6x
total would be 14x

so ratio of
total : red = 14x : 3x = 14 : 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the ratio of the total number of paperclips to the number of red paperclips, you need to add up all the paperclips and then divide it by the number of red paperclips.

Given that there are three red paperclips, five yellow paperclips, and six silver paperclips, the total number of paperclips is:

3 (red) + 5 (yellow) + 6 (silver) = 14

Therefore, the ratio of the total number of paperclips to the number of red paperclips is:

14 (total) : 3 (red) = 14:3
