Before |
3x3 = 9 u |
5 u
|
14 u |
Change |
- 1x3 = - 3 u |
- 4 u |
|
Comparing sunflowers and peonies sold |
- 3x1 = - 3 u |
- 4x1 = - 4 u |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
After |
2x3 = 6 u |
1 u |
7 u |
Number of sunflowers sold is repeated. Make the number of sunflowers the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of flowers sold = 7 u
Total number of flowers
= 9 u + 5 u
= 14 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
714 =
