There are 305 blue lady bugs with 1,830 legs belonging to them.

Add up all numbers in the ratio and then which will equal to 12. Then divide 732 by 12 so that you can find what to multiply to the three terms in the ratio. 732/12=61

Multiply 61 by all numbers in the ratio so that you get 366:305:61. There are a total of 305 blue lady bugs. Next multiply 6 by 305 because each ladybug has 6 legs which will give you 1,830.

Answer:

There are 305 blue lady bugs with 1,830 legs belonging to them!
