Total |
Before |
6x5 = 30 u |
10 u
|
40 u |
Change |
- 1x5 = - 5 u |
- 3 u |
|
Comparing tulips and sunflowers sold |
- 5x1 = - 5 u |
- 3x1 = - 3 u |
- 8x1 = - 8 u |
After |
5x5 = 25 u |
7 u |
32 u |
Number of tulips sold is repeated. Make the number of tulips the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Total number of flowers sold = 8 u
Total number of flowers
= 30 u + 10 u
= 40 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
840 =
