Poppies |
Total |
Before |
10x7 = 70 u |
6 u
|
76 u |
Change |
- 1x7 = - 7 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing daffodils and poppies sold |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 8x1 = - 8 u |
After |
9x7 = 63 u |
5 u |
68 u |
Number of daffodils sold is repeated. Make the number of daffodils the same. LCM of 1 and 7 is 7.
Total number of flowers sold = 8 u
Total number of flowers
= 70 u + 6 u
= 76 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
876 =
