There are some colored rubber bands in a box. 3/8 of them ar blue, 1/4 of them are red and 5/6 of the remainder are yellow. There are 20 yellow rubber bands. Find the total number of rubber bands in the box.
Blue -> 3/8 of the total 3/8
Red -> 1/4 of the total 1/4 = 2/8
Yellow -> 5/6 of the remainder
Blue = 3/8
Red = 1/4
the remainder
1 - 3/8 - 1/4
1 - 3/8 - 2/8
Yellow = 5/6 * 3/8 = 5/16
5/16 -> 20
1/16 -> 20 / 5 = 4
16/16 = 4 * 16 = 64
1 box - 3/8 - 1/4 = 9/24 of which 5/6 are yellow
9/24 * 5/6 * t = 20 t = total bands
t = 64 rubber bands in the box
