llaffer say: red to blue is 2:3, so:

r/b = 2/3

blue to green is 2:1, so:

b/g = 2/1

To get the ratio r:b:g, we need "b" to have the same value in both. It's 3 in the first and 2 in the second, so the LCM of the two is 6. So we can multiply both halves of the ratio in the first by 2 and both halves of the ratio in the second by 3 to get:

r/b = 4/6 and b/g = 6/3

Now that b's are the same we can use them in the ratio to be:

r:b:g = 4:6:3

Puzzling say: The first ratio is:
red: blue = 2:3

The second ratio is:
blue:green = 2:1

We can't yet combine these ratios because we have 3 blue in the first ratio, and 2 blue in the second ratio. We can make them both 6 by multiplying the first ratio by 2 and the second by 3:
red:blue = 2:3 --> 4:6
blue:green = 2:1 --> 6:3

So the combined ratio is:
red:blue:green = 4:6:3
