112 of the lavenders.
1112 of the flowers sold were peonies. What fraction of the flowers did the florist sell?

Peonies |
Lavenders |
Total |
Before |
6x11 = 66 u |
12 u
|
78 u |
Change |
- 1x11 = - 11 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing peonies and lavenders sold |
- 11x1 = - 11 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
5x11 = 55 u |
11 u |
66 u |
Number of peonies sold is repeated. Make the number of peonies the same. LCM of 1 and 11 is 11.
Total number of flowers sold = 12 u
Total number of flowers
= 66 u + 12 u
= 78 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
1278 =
