Answer:

Red = 8, Blue = 64, Yellow = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the the ratio, make an equation.

1x + 8x + 4x = 104

Simplify the left side

13x = 104

Divide both sides by 13

13x/13 = 104/13

x = 8

Now solve for each color

Red

1x

1(8) = 8

Blue

8x

8(8) = 64

Yellow

4x

4(8) = 32
