Sunflowers |
Total |
Before |
9x5 = 45 u |
5 u
|
50 u |
Change |
- 1x5 = - 5 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing peonies and sunflowers sold |
- 5x1 = - 5 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 6x1 = - 6 u |
After |
8x5 = 40 u |
4 u |
44 u |
Number of peonies sold is repeated. Make the number of peonies the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Total number of flowers sold = 6 u
Total number of flowers
= 45 u + 5 u
= 50 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
650 =
325 Answer(s):
