Before |
2x11 = 22 u |
5 u
|
27 u |
Change |
- 1x11 = - 11 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing lavenders and carnations sold |
- 11x1 = - 11 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
1x11 = 11 u |
4 u |
15 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 + 5 u
= 27 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
1227 =
