Before |
10x7 = 70 u |
6 u
|
76 u |
Change |
- 1x7 = - 7 u |
- 5 u |
|
Comparing daffodils and roses sold |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
- 5x1 = - 5 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
9x7 = 63 u |
1 u |
64 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
= 70 u + 6 u
= 76 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
