Before |
3x11 = 33 u |
5 u

38 u |
Change |
- 1x11 = - 11 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing daisies and tulips sold |
- 11x1 = - 11 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
2x11 = 22 u |
4 u |
26 u |
Number of daisies sold is repeated. Make the number of daisies the same. LCM of 1 and 11 is 11.

Total number of flowers
= 33 u + 5 u
= 38 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
