- 1x3 = - 3 u |
- 8 u |
|
Comparing daffodils and sunflowers sold |
- 3x1 = - 3 u |
- 8x1 = - 8 u |
- 11x1 = - 11 u |
After |
7x3 = 21 u |
1 u |
22 u |
Number of daffodils sold is repeated. Make the number of daffodils the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.

Total number of flowers
= 24 u + 9 u
= 33 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
