I'm not great at math, but this looks like a simple algebra problem. I offer the following:

Blue - 1

Red - 2

Yellow - 5

Pink - .5 (one half, 1/2)

Green - 10

Or if you don't like the decimal or fraction:

Blue - 2

Red - 4

Yellow - 10

Pink - 1

Green - 20

But I think the first one is better because it makes sense to use the smaller numbers.

I hope this is right.

"2 blue make a red and 2 red and 1 blue make yellow 2 pink make a blue and 2 yellows make a green."

2 Blue = 2

So Red = 2

2 Red and 1 Blue makes Yellow. So 2x2 + 1 = 5.

So Yellow = 5

2 Pink make a Blue. Blue = 1. 1 divided by 2 is 1/2.

So Pink is 1/2.

2 Yellows make a Green. 2 x 5 is 10.

So Green is 10.
