Before |
5x9 = 45 u |
3 u
|
48 u |
Change |
- 1x9 = - 9 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing daisies and tulips sold |
- 9x1 = - 9 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 10x1 = - 10 u |
After |
4x9 = 36 u |
2 u |
38 u |
Number of daisies sold is repeated. Make the number of daisies the same. LCM of 1 and 9 is 9.

Total number of flowers
= 45 u + 3 u
= 48 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
1048 =
