Before |
2x7 = 14 u |
12 u
|
26 u |
Change |
- 1x7 = - 7 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing sunflowers and tulips sold |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 8x1 = - 8 u |
After |
1x7 = 7 u |
11 u |
18 u |
Number of sunflowers sold is repeated. Make the number of sunflowers the same. LCM of 1 and 7 is 7.
Total number of flowers sold = 8 u
Total number of flowers
= 14 u + 12 u
= 26 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
826 =
