Before |
8x2 = 16 u |
12 u

28 u |
Change |
- 1x2 = - 2 u |
- 5 u |
|
Comparing sunflowers and poppies sold |
- 2x1 = - 2 u |
- 5x1 = - 5 u |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
After |
7x2 = 14 u |
7 u |
21 u |
Number of sunflowers sold is repeated. Make the number of sunflowers the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.

Total number of flowers
= 16 u + 12 u
= 28 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
