Answer 2

There are 1428 more green beads than red beads.

There are 3,332 greed beads in the box

Given :

A box contains red, purple and green beads in the ratio 4:6:7

From the given ratio,

number of red beads = 4x

number of purple beads= 6x

number of green beads= 7x

There are 1428 more green beads than red beads.

green  beads =1428 + red beads

$7x=1428+4x\\3x=1428\\x=476$
