Question

A florist has 23 bouquets of ten roses each and 7 roses.
He also has 21 bouquets of ten tulips each and 9 tulips.
Does the florist have as many roses as tulips? Why?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of roses: (23 × 10) + 7 = 230 + 7 = 237.

Total number of tulips: (21 × 9) = 189.

237 > 189, therefore we can say that the florist has more roses than he has tulips.

Answer 2

Answer:

Total number of roses: (23 × 10) + 7 = 230 + 7 = 237.

Total number of tulips: (21 × 9) = 189.

Florist has more roses than tuplis.
