Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio is 4 daffodils to 3 tulips.
Let the daffodils = d
Let the Tulips = t
d/t = 4/3 Cross Multiply
3d = 4t Divide by 3
3d/3 = 4t/3 Combine
d = 4/3 * t
d + t = 28
4/3 t + t = 28 Change 1t to 3/3 t
4/3 t + 3/3t = 28 Add the fractions.
7/3 t = 28 Multiply both sides by 3/7
3/7 * 7/3t = 28 * 3/7
t = 4 * 3
t = 12
12 tulips were planted. This is the algebraic method of doing the question. If you are in an algebra class, the question really should be done this way.
