Before |
5x11 = 55 u |
11 u
|
66 u |
Change |
- 1x11 = - 11 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing poppies and peonies sold |
- 11x1 = - 11 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
4x11 = 44 u |
10 u |
54 u |
Number of poppies sold is repeated. Make the number of poppies the same. LCM of 1 and 11 is 11.
Total number of flowers sold = 12 u
Total number of flowers
= 55 u + 11 u
= 66 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
1266 =
