Answer:

E. 12 red, 6 green, 4 blue

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of colored pencils for each color, we must find ratios.

480 red: 240 green: 160 blue

Then we divide them to the simplest ratios.

We divide all the numbers by 80.

6 red: 3 green: 2 blue

There are a total of 11 pencils here. To get 22 pencils, you multiply the ratio by 2 to get 22 pencils.

12 red: 6 green: 4 blue
