Before |
8x5 = 40 u |
11 u
|
51 u |
Change |
- 1x5 = - 5 u |
- 7 u |
|
Comparing lavenders and daisies sold |
- 5x1 = - 5 u |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
7x5 = 35 u |
4 u |
39 u |
Number of lavenders sold is repeated. Make the number of lavenders the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.

Total number of flowers
= 40 u + 11 u
= 51 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
