Let no red ribbons=x
no. Of blue ribbons=x+3
No. Of yellow ribb9ns=x+7
Totsl ribbons=28
28=x+x+3+x+7
28=3x+10
3x=28-10

No. Of yellow ribbons=x+7=13
Let's make things easier by simplifying things.
y = 8 and x = 3 is more likely to be understood as a ratio. So for the rest of the answer, their relationship would be represented as y:x
Thus: y:x = 8:3
The problem would be finding y when x = 45
Let us proceed on using the previous equation and substitute x with 45 which would look like this:
y:45 = 8:3
Ratios can also be expressed as fractions which would make things more understandable and easy to solve. So the new form of our equation would be like this:
y/45 = 8/3
Then we proceed with a cross multiplication where the equation becomes like as what is shown below:
3y = 45 * 8
From there, you can solve it by multiplying 45 and 8 then dividing the product with 3 to get y
3y = 360
y = 120
Another way of looking at the problem, especially problems like these, is to take the whole question or statement as an equation. it would probably look like this:
y = 8 when x = 3 : y = ? when x = 45
This would make you understand what approach you can use to solve the given problem.
D, because a histogram does not show individual data points
YES IT IS RIGHT.YOU ARE RIGHT
