Before |
5x8 = 40 u |
4 u

44 u |
Change |
- 1x8 = - 8 u |
- 3 u |
|
Comparing daffodils and marigolds sold |
- 8x1 = - 8 u |
- 3x1 = - 3 u |
- 11x1 = - 11 u |
After |
4x8 = 32 u |
1 u |
33 u |
Number of daffodils sold is repeated. Make the number of daffodils the same. LCM of 1 and 8 is 8.

Total number of flowers
= 40 u + 4 u
= 44 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
