Before |
2x7 = 14 u |
8 u
|
22 u |
Change |
- 1x7 = - 7 u |
- 5 u |
|
Comparing daisies and marigolds sold |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
- 5x1 = - 5 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
1x7 = 7 u |
3 u |
10 u |
Number of daisies sold is repeated. Make the number of daisies the same. LCM of 1 and 7 is 7.
Total number of flowers sold = 12 u
Total number of flowers
= 14 u + 8 u
= 22 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
1222 =
