@peachpi I am in need of help, do you think you can assist me?

togundeji · Answer

So I would multiply 3, 7, and 11 with 189 individually?

normanc · Answer

sorry, I made a mistake.  

if you divide the ratios added together by 189, you should get 9.  Multiply 3 (the green peppers) by 9 (the number of times you need to multiply the ratio to get 189) to get the answer.

So the answers 27? @normanc
