So we multiply prior proportions of 1:4 for red vs\. blue by relative likelihoods of 3:1 and end up with final proportions of (1cdot3):(4cdot1)\=3:4, meaning that the bottom pool has 3 parts of red water to 4 parts of blue water\.
The inverse of multiplication is division. To the mathematically steadfast this is completely obvious but I wager this is exactly the point where most non-mathematically inclined people will become confused and give up or will simply read on without absorbing the whole message. Maybe make this mathematical step more clearly?
