Total |
Before |
6x11 = 66 u |
2 u
|
68 u |
Change |
- 1x11 = - 11 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing daisies and peonies sold |
- 11x1 = - 11 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
5x11 = 55 u |
1 u |
56 u |
Number of daisies sold is repeated. Make the number of daisies the same. LCM of 1 and 11 is 11.
Total number of flowers sold = 12 u
Total number of flowers
= 66 u + 2 u
= 68 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
1268 =
