Total |
Before |
3x7 = 21 u |
12 u
|
33 u |
Change |
- 1x7 = - 7 u |
- 5 u |
|
Comparing peonies and sunflowers sold |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
- 5x1 = - 5 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
2x7 = 14 u |
7 u |
21 u |
Number of peonies sold is repeated. Make the number of peonies the same. LCM of 1 and 7 is 7.
Total number of flowers sold = 12 u
Total number of flowers
= 21 u + 12 u
= 33 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
1233 =
