2x11 = 22 u |
6 u

28 u |

- 1x11 = - 11 u |
- 1 u |

Comparing lavenders and poppies sold |
- 11x1 = - 11 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
1x11 = 11 u |
5 u |
16 u |
Number of lavenders sold is repeated. Make the number of lavenders the same. LCM of 1 and 11 is 11.
Total number of flowers sold = 12 u
Total number of flowers
= 22 u + 6 u
= 28 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
