6x5 = 30 u |
2 u

32 u |
Change |
- 1x5 = - 5 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing daffodils and lilies sold |
- 5x1 = - 5 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 6x1 = - 6 u |
After |
5x5 = 25 u |
1 u |
26 u |
Number of daffodils sold is repeated. Make the number of daffodils the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.

Total number of flowers
= 30 u + 2 u
= 32 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
632 =
