Before |
2x9 = 18 u |
4 u

22 u |
Change |
- 1x9 = - 9 u |
- 1 u |
|
Comparing peonies and daffodils sold |
- 9x1 = - 9 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 10x1 = - 10 u |
After |
1x9 = 9 u |
3 u |
12 u |
Number of peonies sold is repeated. Make the number of peonies the same. LCM of 1 and 9 is 9.

Total number of flowers
= 18 u + 4 u
= 22 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
