Before |
2x6 = 12 u |
9 u

21 u |
Change |
- 1x6 = - 6 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing poppies and daisies sold |
- 6x1 = - 6 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
After |
1x6 = 6 u |
8 u |
14 u |
Number of poppies sold is repeated. Make the number of poppies the same. LCM of 1 and 6 is 6.
Total number of flowers sold = 7 u
Total number of flowers
= 12 u + 9 u
= 21 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
721 =
