Total |
Before |
10x6 = 60 u |
6 u
|
66 u |
Change |
- 1x6 = - 6 u |
- 5 u |
|
Comparing poppies and daisies sold |
- 6x1 = - 6 u |
- 5x1 = - 5 u |
- 11x1 = - 11 u |
After |
9x6 = 54 u |
1 u |
55 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 = 11 u
Total number of flowers
= 60 u + 6 u
= 66 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
1166 =
