Question

a garden contains 54 flowers. 21 are roses, 18 are sunflowers, the rest are marigolds. What’s the ratio of roses to sunflowers to marigolds in its simplest form?

Answer 1

answer :

• 7 : 6 : 5

explanation :

total flowers = 54

no. of roses = 21

no. of sunflowers = 18

no. of marigolds = total flowers - ( sum of other flowers )

no. of marigolds = 54 - (21+18) = 15

thus, the ratio among flowers is = 21 : 18 : 15 = 7 : 6 : 5

therefore,the ratio of roses to sunflowers to marigolds is 7 : 6 : 5 .

Answer 2

7 : 6 : 5

=============

In the garden, there are 54 flowers in total. Out of these, 21 are roses and 18 are sunflowers.

To find the number of marigolds, we can subtract the number of roses and sunflowers from the total flowers:

• 54 - 21 - 18 = 15 marigolds

The ratio would be:

• 21 : 18 : 15

To express the ratio of roses to sunflowers to marigolds in its simplest form, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the three numbers. The GCD of 21, 18, and 15 is 3.

Dividing each number by 3, we get the simplified ratio 7 : 6 : 5.
