18 of the sunflowers and
12 of the orchids.
89 of the flowers sold were sunflowers. What fraction of the flowers did the florist sell?

Sunflowers |
Orchids |
Total |
Before |
8x8 = 64 u |
2 u
|
66 u |
Change |
- 1x8 = - 8 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing sunflowers and orchids sold |
- 8x1 = - 8 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 9x1 = - 9 u |
After |
7x8 = 56 u |
1 u |
57 u |
Number of sunflowers sold is repeated. Make the number of sunflowers the same. LCM of 1 and 8 is 8.
Total number of flowers sold = 9 u
Total number of flowers
= 64 u + 2 u
= 66 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
966 =
