Let's solve this step-by-step based on the instructions given in the image. There are
10 balloons in a row, and we need to color specific ones according to their
ordinal positions from the
left or
right.
We'll number the balloons from
left to right as positions 1 to 10:
```
Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Balloon: [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
```
Now, let’s go through each instruction one by one and determine which balloon to color and with what color.
---
1. Color the 2nd balloon from left red.
- From left: position
2
- → Color
balloon 2 →
Red
---
2. Color the 2nd balloon from right light green.
- From right: 2nd from right = position
9 (since 10 is 1st from right, 9 is 2nd)
- → Color
balloon 9 →
Light green
---
3. Color the 4th balloon from right light blue.
- From right: 4th from right = position
7 (10→1st, 9→2nd, 8→3rd, 7→4th)
- → Color
balloon 7 →
Light blue
---
4. Color the 6th balloon from right brown.
- From right: 6th from right = position
5 (10→1st, 9→2nd, 8→3rd, 7→4th, 6→5th, 5→6th)
- → Color
balloon 5 →
Brown
---
5. Color the 10th balloon from right violet.
- From right: 10th from right = position
1 (only 10 balloons, so 10th from right is the leftmost)
- → Color
balloon 1 →
Violet
---
6. Color the 3rd balloon from left pink.
- From left: position
3
- → Color
balloon 3 →
Pink
---
7. Color the 6th balloon from left yellow.
- From left: position
6
- → Color
balloon 6 →
Yellow
---
8. Color the 1st balloon from right orange.
- From right: 1st from right = position
10
- → Color
balloon 10 →
Orange
---
9. Color the 7th balloon from right black.
- From right: 7th from right = position
4 (10→1st, 9→2nd, 8→3rd, 7→4th, 6→5th, 5→6th, 4→7th)
- → Color
balloon 4 →
Black
---
10. Color the 8th balloon from left grey.
- From left: position
8
- → Color
balloon 8 →
Grey
---
Final Coloring Summary:
