Question

Lauren has a bouquet of flowers.


1/5 of the flowers are red

3/10 of the flowers are white

The rest of the flowers are yellow

Lauren’s bouquet has 18 yellow flowers. How many flowers are included in her bouquet

Answer 1

Answer:

There are a total of 36 flowers in the bouquet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 + 3/10 = 1/2 when simplified. So half of her flowers are yellow and the other  half is red and white. Sence Lauren has 18 yellow flowers then there must be a total of 18 red and white flowers. So 18 + 18= 36.
