Step 1: Analyze the first two scales
From the first scale, we can establish the relationship between the balls:
𝐴=𝐶+𝐵+𝐷
From the second scale, we can establish another relationship:
𝐶=𝐵+𝐷
Step 2: Substitute the value of C into the first equation
A=(B+D)+B+D
A=2B+2D
Step 3: Analyze the third scale and solve for the value of B
The third scale shows that one red ball (A) is equal to three blue balls (D).
𝐴=3𝐷
Substitute this into the equation from Step 2:
3D=2B+2D
Subtract
2𝐷
from both sides:
Final Answer is 𝐷=2𝐵
Meaning that a blue ball (D) is equal to two yellow balls (B).
