Before |
8x5 = 40 u |
12 u
|
52 u |
Change |
- 1x5 = - 5 u |
- 7 u |
|
Comparing daisies and sunflowers sold |
- 5x1 = - 5 u |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
7x5 = 35 u |
5 u |
40 u |
Number of daisies sold is repeated. Make the number of daisies the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Total number of flowers sold = 12 u
Total number of flowers
= 40 u + 12 u
= 52 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
1252 =
